The intent manager provides a generic mechanism to handle intents within an application.

This could include opening a file with the OpeFileIntent, or other custom intents.

[class`Foundry`.IntentHandler] may be registered to handle these intents or ignore them for the next handler to handle them.

New in version 1.1.
