///        execution context.
///
/// Many objects that have pointers back to parent execution context
/// objects can inherit from this pure virtual class can reconstruct
/// their execution context without having to keep a complete
/// ExecutionContext object in the object state. Examples of these
/// objects include: Process, Thread, RegisterContext and StackFrame.
///
/// Bbjects can contain a valid pointer to an instance of this so they
/// can reconstruct the execution context.
///
/// Objects that adhere to this protocol can reconstruct enough of a
/// execution context to allow functions that take a execution contexts
/// to be called.
