/** Hooks support. Hooks implement a chain-of-command pattern, and
 * are commonly used in most web servers as a mechanism of extensibility.
 *
 * This class doesn't deal with hook invocation - the program is expected
 * to use interfaces or base classes with the hooks beeing methods that
 * are invoked. Reflection-based invocation is very expensive and shouldn't 
 * be used.
 * 
 * The Hooks class will provide support for registering and maintaining
 * a list of modules implementing each hook.
 *
 * The module can be added automatically to the right lists by using
 * introspection ( if the module implements a certain method, it'll
 * be added to the chain for the hook with the same name ). It is also
 * possible for a module to explicitely register hooks.
 *
 * This class is modeled after Apache2.0 hooks - most web servers are using
 * this pattern, but so far A2.0 has the most flexible and powerfull
 * implementation
