        necessary to obtain a new id for each command, because commands are
        executed synchronously. So the id for a command is valid again after a
        command previously associated with this id has finished. In fact you
        only should get one identifier per thread and assign it to every
        command executed by that thread.</p>

        <p>Also, after a call to <member>XCommandProcessor::abort</member>, an
        identifier should not be used any longer (and instead be released by a
        call to <member>XCommandProcessor2::releaseCommandIdentifier</member>),
        because it may well abort <em>all</em> further calls to
        <member>XCommandProcessor::execute</member>.</p>

        <p>To avoid ever-increasing resource consumption, the identifier
        should be released via
        <member>XCommandProcessor2::releaseCommandIdentifier</member>
        when it is no longer used.</p>

        @param CommandId
        is a unique id for the command. This identifier was obtained by calling
        <member>XCommandProcessor::createCommandIdentifier</member>. A value of

        using <member>XCommandProcessor::createCommandIdentifier</member>.
        This identifier can be used for every call to

        to indicate that the command was aborted.
