Detailed Description

An opaque handle for a component.

Noone in component-land should ever directly mention ComponentID. Use ComponentID_shared instead. Memory lifecycle: All ComponentID_shared are created by the framework and then shared liberally. All should be declared as local stack variables or stored in STL containers. NOTE classic transition: There is no toString function. Use getInstanceName() or getInstanceName().c_str() instead.

All ids originate in the framework, however.
