/** @class Event

@brief Concerete implementation of an EventImp stroring name, format, data and time

This is the implementation of an event which can be posted to a state
machine, hosting all the data itself. In addition to the base class
it has storage for name, format, the data and a time stamp.

//! Store the name in fName and the format in fFormat. Initializes fTime
//! to an invalid time.
//!
//! @param name
//!    Name given to the event
//!
//! @param fmt
//!    If the event has data attached (like arguments of commands)
//!    the format can be given here. How the format string is defined
//!    is defined within the dim libarary. It is used in console
//!    and shell access to properly format the data sent with the event
//!
//! <B>From the dim manual:</B>
//!    The format parameter specifies the contents of the structure in
//!    the form T:N[;T:N]*[;T] where T is the item type: (I)nteger,
//!    (C)haracter, (L)ong, (S)hort, (F)loat, (D)ouble, and N is the
//!    number of such items. The type alone at the end means all
//!    following items are of the same type. Example: "I:3;F:2;C" means
//!    3 Integers, 2 Floats and Characters until the end. The format
//!    parameter is used for communicating between different platforms.
//!
