module documentation

Service architecture for Twisted.

Services are arranged in a hierarchy. At the leafs of the hierarchy, the services which actually interact with the outside world are started. Services can be named or anonymous -- usually, they will be named if there is need to access them through the hierarchy (from a parent or a sibling).
