class PhasedObject:
    """
    This class is governs the loading and unloading of successive
    phases in an ordered and automatic manner.

    An object can only have one phase at any given moment. At the
    completion of setPhase() the current and all previous phases are
    guaranteed to be loaded, while all later phases are guaranteed
    to be unloaded.

    In order to define a phase, simply define the functions:
    loadPhase<#> and unloadPhase<#> where # corresponds to the number
    of the phase to be defined and # >= 0.

    You also have the ability to define alias for phases so that
    your function definitions are more descriptive.  The way to do
    this is to provide an aliasMap to __init__().  The aliasMap is
    of the form {'alias':#, ...}. You can then call setPhase() with
    this alias as well.

    So for example, if you wanted to alias phase 0 to 'Far' you
    would define loadPhaseFar() and unloadPhaseFar(). Upon calling
    setPhase(0), setPhase('Far'), setPhase(<any phase greater than 0>),
    or setPhase(<any alias greater than 'Far'>), loadPhaseFar() will
    be invoked.

    For a skeleton example class, see the AnfaPhasedObject class
    definition lower in this file.
