/** extends an existing <type>XDispatch</type> implementation with functionality
    for dispatch recording

    <p>
    This interface can be implemented as an additional one beside an existing
    <type>XDispatch</type> one to provide record functionality of dispatches.
    Because it's an additional interface the status events are available there
    and not at this interface.
    </p>

    <p>
    But normally this interface mustn't be used directly.
    If a dispatch object is well known and recording was enabled
    on a <type>XDispatchRecorderSupplier</type> it's possible to use method
    <member>XDispatchRecorderSupplier::dispatchAndRecord()</member> of it
    to make dispatch and recording automatically. The interface XRecordableDispatch
    is used transparently there.
    </p>

    @example
    <listing>
        <i>XDispatch</i> xDispatcher = xFrame.queryDispatch(aURL,"",0);
        <i>XRecordableDispatch</i> xRecordable = (<i>XRecordableDispatch</i>)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
        &nbsp;&nbsp;XRecordableDispatch.class,
        &nbsp;&nbsp;xDispatcher);

        xDispatcher.addStatusListener(this,aURL);

        <b>if</b> (xRecordable!=<b>null</b>)
        &nbsp;&nbsp;xRecordable.dispatchAndRecord(aURL,lArguments,xRecorder);
        else
        &nbsp;&nbsp;xDispatcher.dispatch(aURL,lArguments);
        ...
        xDispatcher.removeStatusListener(this,aURL);
    </listing>
