In the wiki, I had previously cached

        As soon as any user or widget would decide it is time to
        issue a claim or a billing, the widget may send a message
        with parameters {code:value, comment:text ...} via dispatcher.
        If you have a billing backend in place, it will get the message
        and act accordingly. If you have no billing backend or don't
        need the feature, the message will simply (automatically) be ignored.

Is "dispatcher" connected to or independent of the hooks framework, and is it 
relevant to interaction between GNUmed and LSMB?
