+%%% Application wrapper module for regis,
+%%% a process registration application.
+%%%
+%%% This was added because the standard process registry has a precise
+%%% meaning of representing VM-global, non-dynamic processes.
+%%% However, for this, we needed dynamic names and so we had to write
+%%% one ourselves. Of course we could have used 'global' (but we
+%%% didn't see distributed Erlang yet) or 'gproc' (I don't want to
+%%% depend on external libs for this guide), so checkthem out
+%%% if you're writing your own app.
