 * \brief Adding CCNx functionality to existing Nodes.
 *
 * This helper enables pcap and ascii tracing of events in the ccnx stack
 * associated with a node.  This is substantially similar to the tracing that
 * happens in device helpers, but the important difference is that, well, there
 * is no device.  This means that the creation of output file names will change,
 * and also the user-visible methods will not reference devices and therefore
 * the number of trace enable methods is reduced.
 *
 * Normally we eschew multiple inheritance, however, the classes
 * PcapUserHelperForCcnx and AsciiTraceUserHelperForCcnx are treated as
 * "mixins".  A mixin is a self-contained class that encapsulates a general
 * attribute or a set of functionality that may be of interest to many other
 * classes.
