/**
 * @class ACE_ConsumerQOS_Factory
 *
 * @brief Consumer QOS Factory.
 *
 * This class allows easy (free from CORBA IDL constraints)
 * construction of RtecEventChannelAdmin::ConsumerQOS structures.
 * = CORRELATIONS
 * ACE_ConsumerQOS_Factory separates subscriptions into conjunction
 * and disjunction groups.  A group can be thought of as a set of
 * events inside parenthesis: (A+B+C), where A,B, and C are
 * events.
 * The following code would be used to represent (A+B) | (B+C):
 * ACE_ConsumerQOS_Factor factory;
 * factory.start_conjunction_group ();
 * factory.insert (A);
 * factory.insert (B);
 * factory.start_conjunction_group ();
 * factory.insert (B);
 * factory.insert (C);
 * The following code would be used to represent (A|B) | (B|C):
 * ACE_ConsumerQOS_Factor factory;
 * factory.start_disjunction_group ();
 * factory.insert (A);
 * factory.insert (B);
 * factory.start_disjunction_group ();
 * factory.insert (B);
 * factory.insert (C);
 * First, this may not seem to be initially useful, as (A|B) |
 * (B|C) seems the same as A|B|C.  However, this form does have a
 * significant use when deadline timers are specified (described
 * below). Note that groups end with the next call to
 * start_XX_group.  Groups are always OR'd together.  That is,
 * there is no way to directly build (A|B|C) + (D|E|F).  You can
 * always expand the previous statement to the OR of multiple ANDs.
 * = TIMEOUTS
 * There are two types of timeout types defined in
 * Event_Service_Constants.h.
 * ACE_ES_EVENT_INTERVAL_TIMEOUT - the consumer wants to receive a
 * timeout every N seconds.
 * ACE_ES_EVENT_DEADLINE_TIMEOUT - the consumer wants the timeout
 * if and only if some dependencies are not resolved first.
 * Using these timeouts with the correlations discussed above, we
 * can construct four different timer semantics: Interval Timer,
 * Deadline Timer, Interval Correlation, Deadline Correlation:
 * Interval Timer:
 * (A+B+C) | (D+E+F) | (G+H+I) | IntervalTimeout
 * This registers to receive an interval timeout regardless of
 * other dependencies.  Event if events occur, the interval
 * timeout will still be sent.
 * Deadline Timer:
 * (A+B+C) | (D+E+F) | (G+H+I) | DeadlineTimeout
 * This registers to receive the deadline timeout ONLY if no
 * other events occur.  If a single event is sent to the
 * consumer, the timer is cancelled and rescheduled.
 * Deadline Correlation:
 * (A+B+C) | (D+E+F) | (G+H+DeadlineTimeout)
 * If G and H do not occur within DeadlineTimeout time, a
 * deadline timeout is sent.  It is cancelled and rescheduled if G
 * and H occur.
 * Interval Correlation:
 * (A+B+C) | (D+E+F) | (G+H+IntervalTimeout)
 * G+H+IntervalTimeout are sent ONLY after all have occurred.  If
 * G+H occur, they are queued until IntervalTimeout occurs.  If
 * IntervalTimeout occurs, it is queued until G+H occur.
