+ Base class for stream handlers. Stream handlers are matched with
+ incoming stanzas so that the stanza may be processed in some way.
+ Stanzas may be matched with multiple handlers.
+
+ Handler execution may take place in two phases. The first is during
+ the stream processing itself. The second is after stream processing
+ and during SleekXMPP's main event loop. The prerun method is used
+ for execution during stream processing, and the run method is used
+ during the main event loop.

+ Attributes:
+ name -- The name of the handler.
+ stream -- The stream this handler is assigned to.
+
+ Methods:
+ match -- Compare a stanza with the handler's matcher.
+ prerun -- Handler execution during stream processing.
+ run -- Handler execution during the main event loop.
+ check_delete -- Indicate if the handler may be removed from use.
