  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.)
