9.2 The dispatch library
The dispatch layer resulted from refactoring the core C library.
We'll discuss the dispatch layer in more detail tomorrow.

- Factoring out common code, so it appears in one place
- Providing a framework for extensions
- Simpler code for adding new formats and additional protocols
- Easier maintenance
