4 * Class Civi
5 *
6 * The "Civi" class provides a facade for accessing major subsystems,
7 * such as the service-container and settings manager. It serves as a
8 * bridge which allows procedural code to access important objects.
9 *
10 * General principles:
11 * - Each function provides access to a major subsystem.
12 * - Each function performs a simple lookup.
13 * - Each function returns an interface.
14 * - Whenever possible, interfaces should be well-known (e.g. based
15 * on a standard or well-regarded provider).
