A Redirector is an object that can redirect one action to another via a doInstead wrapper method that provides a common interface. Subclasses are responsible for implementing the redirect method.

We begin this module by defing the Redirector class since in adv3Lite (though not in Mercury) Redirector is the base class for Doer.
