/** An instance of this class refers to objects with main content (MessagePayload), 
 authentication/authorization information (MessageAuth) and common purpose attributes
 (MessageAttributes). Message class does not manage pointers to objects and their content.
 It only serves for grouping those objects.
  Message objects are supposed to be processed by MCCs and Services implementing 
 MCCInterface method process(). All objects constituting content of Message object 
 are subject to following policies:

  1. All objects created inside call to process() method using new command must 
     be explicitely destroyed within same call using delete command  with 
     following exceptions.
   a) Objects which are assigned to 'response' Message.
   b) Objects whose management is completely acquired by objects assigned to 
      'response' Message.

  2. All objects not created inside call to process() method are not explicitely
     destroyed within that call with following exception.
   a) Objects which are part of 'response' Method returned from call to next's 
      process() method. Unless those objects are passed further to calling
      process(), of course.

  3. It is not allowed to make 'response' point to same objects as 'request' does
     on entry to process() method. That is needed to avoid double destruction of
     same object. (Note: if in a future such need arises it may be solved by storing
     additional flags in Message object).

  4. It is allowed to change content of pointers of 'request' Message. Calling 
     process() method must not rely on that object to stay intact.

  5. Called process() method should either fill 'response' Message with pointers to 
     valid objects or to keep them intact. This makes it possible for calling 
     process() to preload 'response' with valid error message.
