+    MasterPagesSelector objects in the task panel.
+
+    It works like a singleton in that there is one instance per sd module.
+    Resources can be added (by themselves or their owners) to the

+    resources that have been added to it.
+
+    As you may note, there is no method to get a resource from the
+    container.  It is the task of the resource to provide other means of

+
+    The reason for this design is not to have to change the SdModule
+    destructor every time when there is a new resource.  This is done by
+    reversing the dependency between module and resource: the resource knows
