+#	something similar should also be done in VeDbusBusItemExport?
+# 2 Shouldn't VeDbusBusItemExport inherit dbus.service.Object?
+# 7 Make hard rules for services exporting data to the D-Bus, in order to make tracking
+#   changes possible. Does everybody first invalidate its data before leaving the bus?
+#   And what about before taking one object away from the bus, instead of taking the
+#   whole service offline?
+#   They should! And after taking one value away, do we need to know that someone left
+#   the bus? Or we just keep that value in invalidated for ever? Result is that we can't
+#   see the difference anymore between an invalidated value and a value that was first on
+#   the bus and later not anymore. See comments above VeDbusItemImport as well.
+# 9 there are probably more todos in the code below.
+
+# Some thoughts with regards to the data types:
+#
+#   Text from: http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-python/doc/tutorial.html#data-types
+#   ---
+#   Variants are represented by setting the variant_level keyword argument in the
+#   constructor of any D-Bus data type to a value greater than 0 (variant_level 1
+#   means a variant containing some other data type, variant_level 2 means a variant
+#   containing a variant containing some other data type, and so on). If a non-variant
+#   is passed as an argument but introspection indicates that a variant is expected,
+#   it'll automatically be wrapped in a variant.
+#   ---
+#
+#   Also the different dbus datatypes, such as dbus.Int32, and dbus.UInt32 are a subclass
+#   of Python int. dbus.String is a subclass of Python standard class unicode, etcetera
+#
+#   So all together that explains why we don't need to explicitly convert back and forth
+#   between the dbus datatypes and the standard python datatypes. Note that all datatypes
+#   in python are objects. Even an int is an object.

+Importing basics:

+	  yet exist, still subscribe to a signal: as soon as it comes online it will send a signal with its
+	  initial value, which VeDbusItemImport will receive and use to update local cache. And, when set,
+	  call the eventCallback.
+	- If when we power up, save it
+	- When using get_value, know that there is no difference between services (or object paths) that don't
+	  exist and paths that are invalid (= empty array, see above). Both will return None. In case you do
+	  really want to know ifa path exists or not, use the exists property.
+	- When a D-Bus service leaves the D-Bus, it will first invalidate all its values, and send signals
+	  with that update, and only then leave the D-Bus. (or do we need to subscribe to the NameOwnerChanged-
+	  signal!?!) To be discussed and make sure. Not really urgent, since all existing code that uses this
+	  class already subscribes to the NameOwnerChanged signal, and subsequently removes instances of this
+	  class.
+
+Read when using this class:
+Note that when a service leaves that D-Bus without invalidating all its exported objects first, for
+example because it is killed, VeDbusItemImport doesn't have a clue. So when using VeDbusItemImport,
+make sure to also subscribe to the NamerOwnerChanged signal on bus-level. Or just use dbusmonitor,
+because that takes care of all of that for you.
