 *        of the sort that one can add to an ActorPool.
 *
 *     - conn
 *        The DebuggerServerConnection in which the new actors will participate.
 *

/**
 * Create a remote debugging protocol root actor.
 *
 * @param aConnection
 *     The DebuggerServerConnection whose root actor we are constructing.
 *
 * @param aParameters
 *     The properties of |aParameters| provide backing objects for the root
 *     actor's requests; if a given property is omitted from |aParameters|, the
 *     root actor won't implement the corresponding requests or notifications.
 *     Supported properties:
 *
 *     - tabList: a live list (see below) of tab actors. If present, the
 *       new root actor supports the 'listTabs' request, providing the live
 *       list's elements as its tab actors, and sending 'tabListChanged'
 *       notifications when the live list's contents change. One actor in
 *       this list must have a true '.selected' property.
 *
 *     - globalActorFactories: an object |A| describing further actors to
 *       attach to the 'listTabs' reply. This is the type accumulated by
 *       DebuggerServer.addGlobalActor. For each own property |P| of |A|,
 *       the root actor adds a property named |P| to the 'listTabs'
 *       reply whose value is the name of an actor constructed by
 *       |A[P]|.
 *
 *     - onShutdown: a function to call when the root actor is disconnected.
 *
 * Instance properties:
 *
 * - applicationType: the string the root actor will include as the
 *      "applicationType" property in the greeting packet. By default, this
 *      is "browser".
 *
 * Live lists:
 *
 * A "live list", as used for the |tabList|, is an object that presents a
 * list of actors, and also notifies its clients of changes to the list. A
 * live list's interface is two properties:
 *
 * - iterator: a method that returns an iterator. A for-of loop will call
 *             this method to obtain an iterator for the loop, so if LL is
 *             a live list, one can simply write 'for (i of LL) ...'.
 *
 * - onListChanged: a handler called, with no arguments, when the set of
 *             values the iterator would produce has changed since the last
 *             time 'iterator' was called. This may only be set to null or a
 *             callable value (one for which the typeof operator returns
 *             'function'). (Note that the live list will not call the
 *             onListChanged handler until the list has been iterated over
 *             once; if nobody's seen the list in the first place, nobody
 *             should care if its contents have changed!)
 *
 * When the list changes, the list implementation should ensure that any
 * actors yielded in previous iterations whose referents (tabs) still exist
 * get yielded again in subsequent iterations. If the underlying referent
 * is the same, the same actor should be presented for it.
 *
 * The root actor registers an 'onListChanged' handler on the appropriate
 * list when it may need to send the client 'tabListChanged' notifications,
 * and is careful to remove the handler whenever it does not need to send
 * such notifications (including when it is disconnected). This means that
 * live list implementations can use the state of the handler property (set
 * or null) to install and remove observers and event listeners.
 *
 * Note that, as the only way for the root actor to see the members of the
 * live list is to begin an iteration over the list, the live list need not
 * actually produce any actors until they are reached in the course of
 * iteration: alliterative lazy live lists.
