// BalanceValueContainerFactory -- facade that creates, stores, and 
// maintains BalanceValueContainer objects.  Multiple calls with the 
// same parameter will return the same object.  The (void) function 
// call is equivalent to calling for a filename with an empty string.
// Invalid filenames will still return an usable BalanceValueContainer,
// but that container will not be able to save later.
//
// The objects that this function creates should not be manually
// deleted; it is responsible for cleanup of the objects.
//
// TODO: Add another constructor for UPP::ProductInfo objects
// TODO: Make retrieval/creation of objects thread safe (it's not)

//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// BalanceChangeListener -- abstract class that allows arbitrary
// items to listen for changes to the balancing system.  Items can
// register for individual values or for the entire balance variable
// set.  Listeners are notified in advance of each change, but don't
// have the authority to override.
//
// The shouldNotify function is a filter for items registered for
// entire sets, allowing them to select items they are actually
// interested in receiving.  Items that are registered for specific
// variables skip the shouldNotify check.
//
// When a BalanceValueContainer is wiped, the balanceCleared function
// is called rather than iterating over all of the values for all of
// the attached listeners.  It should be considered a signal that
// all items the listener is interested in have been removed.
//
// The BalanceStartCompoundChange and BalanceEndCompoundChange
// functions provide rough grain functionality for listeners that
// want to only operate once on a large change (such as a complete
// reset) instead of once per change.  By combining these functions
// with an internal state variable, they can know when to ignore
// individual signals.  The compound change functions will not be 
// called for individual balance changes, so it's important to track
// these as well if you want a catch-all method of detecting changes.
//
// The compound change functions will only be called for universally
// registered listeners.

// BalanceValueContainer -- abstract parent class for balance variable
// storage and retrieval with change notification.
//
// It is possible to actually use the same name for multiple variable
// types at runtime, but the results are undefined if the conflict
// is saved or reloaded, so it's important to be careful when using
// value types.
//
// When calling addListener, multiple registrations for the same
// variable name or multiple global registrations have no added
// effect.  If a listener is registered globally and for a specific
// variable, it will still only be called once per event.
//
// When calling removeListener without a name argument, only the
// universal listener location is checked for the matching pointer.
// It is safe to leave listeners registered with a container even
// after the listeners have been deconstructed, so it is not required
// to unregister a listener from many different items.
//
// The equality and inequality checks test the equality/inequality
// of the value maps.  The assignment operator performs the minimum
// number of changes required for the value maps to become equal.
// This is much more complex than simple reassignment, but it allows
// proper notification of BalanceChangeListeners.
//
// TODO: Make addition/removal of listeners thread safe (it's not)
// TODO: Make assignment thread safe (it's not)
// TODO: Make insertion/retrieval/removal of values thread safe
// TODO: Make load a minimal change operation (like assignment)
