 * The  Initiate is a common base for  queries or transactions

 * initiator to signal its "initiatees" that it is aborting and no longer
 * expecting an answer. The class is also handy for implementing common
 * initiate actions such as maintaining and notifying the initiator.
 *
 * Initiate implementations must cbdata-protect themselves.
 *
 * This class could have been named Initiatee.
