*********************** ***********************
A frontend is responsible for exposing Mopidy for a type of clients. A frontend may do whatever it wants to, including creating threads, opening TCP
ports and exposing Mopidy for a type of clients.
Frontends got one main limitation: they are restricted to passing messages
through the ``core_queue`` for all communication with the rest of Mopidy. Thus,
the frontend API is very small and reveals little of what a frontend may do.
