/**
 * A handle for avoiding accessing the TriggerManager directly via its public API. Objects of this class can
 * be used for setting up generic triggers in a similar manner how session triggers are registered from
 * converted code.
 * <p>
 * The generic triggers are Java callback methods which are invoked BEFORE the session database triggers, but
 * they are configured for <strong>all</strong> tables (we may add a mask/regex pattern to filter only
 * specific tables) of a database. The implementer is responsible to write the code for handling the event at
 * a lower level, including table filtering (for the moment) but must take care of full 4GL state:
 * transactions, locking, buffers, undo ability.
