"""Defines the central class for the CubicWeb RQL server: the repository.

The repository is an abstraction allowing execution of rql queries against
data sources. Most of the work is actually done in helper classes. The
repository mainly:

* brings these classes all together to provide a single access
  point to a cubicweb instance.
* handles session management
* provides method for pyro registration, to call if pyro is enabled
