/**
When an object wants to provide a number of commands
to the console, it should register an object with this
interface. Some console can then pick this up and execute
command lines.
The SERVICE_RANKING registration property can be used to influence the
order that a CommandProvider gets called. Specify a value less than
Integer.MAXVALUE, where higher is more significant. The default value
if SERVICE_RANKING is not set is 0.
<p>
The interface contains only methods for the help.
The console should use inspection
to find the commands. All public commands, starting with
a '_' and taking a CommandInterpreter as parameter
will be found. E.g.
<pre>
public Object _hello( CommandInterpreter intp ) {
return "hello " + intp.nextArgument();
}
</pre>

Answer a string (may be as many lines as you like) with help
texts that explain the command.
