/// Contains values returned by ArAction objects expressing desired motion commands to resolver
/**
   This class is use by actions to report what want movement commands they want. 
   The action resolver combines the ArActionDesired objects returned by different actions.

   A brief summary follows. For a fuller explanation of actions, see @ref actions.

   Different values are organized into different "channels". 
   Translational (front/back) and rotational (right/left) movements are separate 
   channels.  Translational movement uses velocity, while rotational movement uses 
   change in heading from current heading. 
   Each channel has a strength value.  
   Both translational and rotational movement have maximum velocities as well,
   that also have their own strengths.

   The strength value reflects how strongly an action wants to do the chosen 
   movement command, the resolver (ArResolver) will combine these strengths 
   and figure out what to do based on them.

   For all strength values there is a total of 1.0 combined strength avaliable.
   The range for strength is from 0 to 1.  This is simply a convention that 
   ARIA uses by default, if you don't like it, you could override this
   class the ArResolver class.

   Note that for the different maximum/accel/decel values they take an
   additional argument of whether just to use the slowest speed,
   slowest accel, or fastest decel.  By default these will just use
   safer values (slowest speed, slowest accel, fastest decel)... you
   can specify false on these for the old behavior.  Note that if
   you're safest values then the strength is largely ignored though it
   is still tracked and must still be greater than MIN_STRENGTH to
   work and it is still capped at MAX_STRENGTH).
