construct that could be made to do what I want in a type safe manner. The
method returns Class<? extends NodeObject> which is correctly expresses the
valid types that can be returned.
However, I can't pass the capture <? extends NodeObject> (NodeObject extends
DObject) to a method that takes <T extends DObject>. I'm not entirely sure why
not, but I imagine it has something to do with the subtleties of type-erasure,
or maybe it's just a limitation of the inference that can be done by the
compiler. I don't know what type <? extends NodeObject> is considered to be, I
would have thought just NodeObject but apparently not.

make connections to other servers in the cluster and can exchange events (in a
limited fashion).
This is different than Liz's project wherein servers share an oid space and one
can interchangably work with distributed objects from any server. This package
provides a means by which certain services (by default, presence and chat) can
be communicated between servers to allow communication between players
scattered around a bunch of otherwise independent server instances.
This is less general purpose but also less likely to encourage people to write
code that tightly couples multiple servers and then falls over because it
generates gobs of network traffic as events are flung willy nilly behind the
scenes.
