15 * Provides a way to reset an object to its initial state.
16 *
17 * When calling the "reset()" method on an object, it should be put back to its
18 * initial state. This usually means clearing any internal buffers and forwarding
19 * the call to internal dependencies. All properties of the object should be put
20 * back to the same state it had when it was first ready to use.
21 *
22 * This method could be called, for example, to recycle objects that are used as
23 * services, so that they can be used to handle several requests in the same
24 * process loop (note that we advise making your services stateless instead of
25 * implementing this interface when possible.)
