 *
 * The Announcement primitive does local area announcements. An
 * announcement is an (ID, value) tuple that is disseminated to local
 * area neighbors. An application or protocol can explicitly listen to
 * announcements from neighbors. When an announcement is heard, a
 * callback is invoked.
 *
 * Announcements can be used for a variety of network mechanisms such
 * as neighbor discovery, node-level service discovery, or routing
 * metric dissemination.
 *
 * Application programs and protocols register announcements with the
 * announcement module. An announcement back-end, implemented by the
 * system, takes care of sending out announcements over the radio, as
 * well as collecting announcements heard from neighbors.
