class SocketConnector
	/// This class implements the Connector part of the
	/// Acceptor-Connector design pattern.
	///
	/// The Acceptor-Connector pattern has been described in the book
	/// "Pattern Languages of Program Design 3", edited by Robert Martin,
	/// Frank Buschmann and Dirk Riehle (Addison Wesley, 1997).
	///
	/// The Acceptor-Connector design pattern decouples connection
	/// establishment and service initialization in a distributed system
	/// from the processing performed once a service is initialized.
	/// This decoupling is achieved with three components: Acceptors, 
	/// Connectors and Service Handlers.
	/// The Connector actively establishes a connection with a remote
	/// server socket (usually managed by an Acceptor) and initializes
	/// a Service Handler to manage the connection.
	///
	/// The SocketConnector sets up a StreamSocket, initiates a non-blocking
	/// connect operation and registers itself for ReadableNotification, WritableNotification
	/// and ErrorNotification. ReadableNotification or WritableNotification denote the successful 
	/// establishment of the connection.
	///
	/// When the StreamSocket becomes readable or writeable, the SocketConnector 
	/// creates a ServiceHandler to service the connection and unregisters
	/// itself.
	///
	/// In case of an error (ErrorNotification), the SocketConnector unregisters itself
	/// and calls the onError() method, which can be overridden by subclasses
	/// to perform custom error handling.
	///
	/// The ServiceHandler class must provide a constructor that
	/// takes a StreamSocket and a SocketReactor as arguments,
	/// e.g.:
	///     MyServiceHandler(const StreamSocket& socket, ServiceReactor& reactor)
	///
	/// When the ServiceHandler is done, it must destroy itself.
	///
	/// Subclasses can override the createServiceHandler() factory method
	/// if special steps are necessary to create a ServiceHandler object.
