/**
 * \brief Interface for component which uses actions
 *
 * This interface is used to execute actions in the component. Actions, in the sense of this interface, are activities with a well-defined beginning and
 * end in time. They may adjust sub-states of components, but are not supposed to change
 * the main mode of operation, which is handled with the HasModesIF described below.
 *
 * The HasActionsIF allows components to define such actions and make them available
 * for other components to use. Implementing the interface is straightforward: There’s a
 * single executeAction call, which provides an identifier for the action to execute, as well
 * as arbitrary parameters for input. Aside from direct, software-based
 * actions, it is used in device handler components as an interface to forward commands to
 * devices.
 * Implementing components of the interface are supposed to check identifier (ID) and
 * parameters and immediately start execution of the action. It is, however, not required to
 * immediately finish execution. Instead, this may be deferred to a later point in time, at
 * which the component needs to inform the caller about finished or failed execution.
