// Description:
// Demonstrate use of M classes, or mixins - the
// only use of multiple inheritance that has been
// sanctioned by the E32 architecture team
// This example shows how mixins can be used to
// pass some protocol, and an associated object, from
// a protocol provider to an protocol user.  The user
// is not supposed to know everything about the provider,
// only about the protocol it's interested in.
// In this specific example, the provider contains a pointer 
// to the _real provider_: the provider is derived
// from the protocol base class, but the real provider is not.
// The real provider may thus honour many protocols.
//
