/**
 * This interface is to be implemented by any broker business object that
 * wishes to gather statistics about messages delivered through it.
 * 
 * These statistics are exposed using a management interface, which
 * calls these methods to retrieve the underlying statistics values.
 * This interface gives a standard way for
 * parts of the broker to set up and configure statistics collection.
 * <p>
 * When creating these objects, there should be a parent/child relationship
 * between them, such that the lowest level gatherer can record statistics if
 * enabled, and pass on the notification to the parent object to allow higher
 * level aggregation. When resetting statistics, this works in the opposite
 * direction, with higher level gatherers also resetting all of their children.
