An event sink embodies the potential for the component to receive events of a specified type. An event sink is, in essence,
a special-purpose facet whose type is an event consumer. External entities, such as clients or configuration services, can
obtain the reference for the consumer interface associated with the sink.
A component may exhibit zero or more consumers.
See the CORBA Components specification, Component Model chapter, “Event Sinks? section for further details.
