    Its instances have methods like join or copy_content or fetch, and contain

    references to the source and target objects these operations can be 

    carried out between.

    Often we will provide convenience methods on the objects which carry out

    operations with another of similar type - they will always forward to

    a subclass of InterObject - i.e. 

    InterVersionedFile.get(other).method_name(parameters).

    If the source and target objects implement the locking protocol - 

    lock_read, lock_write, unlock, then the InterObject's lock_read,

    lock_write and unlock methods may be used (optionally in conjunction with

    the needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators.)

    When looking for an inter, the most recently registered types are tested

    first.  So typically the most generic and slowest InterObjects should be

    registered first.
