// This test sink provides a "sink" for IPC messages that are sent. It allows
// the caller to query messages received in various different ways.  It is
// designed for tests for objects that use the IPC system.
//
// Typical usage:
//
//   test_sink.ClearMessages();
//   do_something();
//
//   // We should have gotten exactly one update state message.
//   EXPECT_TRUE(test_sink.GetUniqeMessageMatching(ViewHostMsg_Update::ID));
//   // ...and no start load messages.
//   EXPECT_FALSE(test_sink.GetFirstMessageMatching(ViewHostMsg_Start::ID));
//
//   // Now inspect a message. This assumes a message that was declared like
//   // this: IPC_MESSAGE_ROUTED2(ViewMsg_Foo, bool, int)
//   IPC::Message* msg = test_sink.GetFirstMessageMatching(ViewMsg_Foo::ID));
//   ASSERT_TRUE(msg);
//   bool first_param;
//   int second_param;
//   ViewMsg_Foo::Read(msg, &first_param, &second_param);
//
//   // Go on to the next phase of the test.
//   test_sink.ClearMessages();
//
// To hook up the sink, all you need to do is call OnMessageReceived when a
// message is recieved.
