%%% 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.
