/*!
 * \brief The ID of revocable message/signal.
 *
 * An instance of delivery_id_t returned from send()-functions need
 * to be store somewhere. Otherwise the message/signal will be revoked
 * just after completion of send() function. It is
 * because the destructor of delivery_id_t will be called and that destructor
 * revokes the message/signal.
 *
 * An instance of delivery_id_t can be used for revocation of a message.
 * Revocation can be performed by two ways:
 *
 * 1. Destructor of delivery_id_t automatically revokes the message.
 * 2. Method delivery_id_t::revoke() is called by an user.
 *
 * For example:
 * \code
 * namespace delivery_ns = so_5::extra::revocable_msg;
 * void demo(so_5::mchain_t work_queue) {
 *  // Send a demand to work queue and store the ID returned.
 *  auto id = delivery_ns::send<do_something>(work_queue, ...);
 *  ... // Do some work.
 *  if(some_condition)
 *      // Our previous message should be revoked if it is not delivered yet.
 *      id.revoke();
 *  ...
 *  // Message will be automatically revoked here because ID is destroyed
 *  // on leaving the scope.
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * \note
 * The delivery_id_t is Movable, not Copyable.
 *
 * \attention
 * This is not a thread-safe class. It means that it is dangerous to
 * call methods of that class (like revoke() or has_been_revoked()) from
 * different threads at the same time.

 * \since
 * v.1.2.0

 * \brief A utility function for creating and delivering a revocable message.
 *
 * This function can be used for sending messages and signals to

 * Message/signal sent can be revoked by using delivery_id_t::revoke()
 * method:
 * \code
 * auto id = so_5::extra::revocable_msg::send<my_message>(...);
 * ...
 * id.revoke();
 * \endcode
 * Please note that revoked message is not removed from queues where it
 * wait for processing. But revoked message/signal will be ignored just
 * after extraction from a queue.
 *
 * Usage examples:
 * \code
 * namespace delivery_ns = so_5::extra::revocable_msg;
 *
 * // Send a revocable message to mbox mb1.
 * so_5::mbox_t mb1 = ...;
 * auto id1 = delivery_ns::send<my_message>(mb1, ...);
