   <li>BaseMediator: Abstract class to provide interface for event notifications in INDI::BaseClient.</li>
   <li>BaseDriver: Base class for all INDI virtual driver as handled and stored in INDI::BaseClient.</li>
   <li>DefaultDriver: INDI::BaseDriver with extended functionality such as debug, simulation, and configuration support.
