Description: # borg_pod Python design pattern and module.
        
        The Borg Pod pattern provides an easy method for creating dynamic and decoupled classes. Instead of imposing developer
        overhead of linking class implementations, designing a state machine, referring to the correct pointers for the owners
        of each attribute / method, and debugging the system - you could just put a wrapper above your classes and be done with
        it.
        
        ## Use
        
        You've imported the module? Okay, this is scary, so here we go. Let's say you have some classes you want to be able to
        switch an instance between:
        
        class SomeClassA(object):
            def __init__(self):
                pass
        
            def my_method(self):
                print("I AM SOME CLASS A")
        
        
        class OtherClassB(object):
            def __init__(self):
                print("HOLD ON, I AIN'T SO QUIET.")
        
            def my_method(self):
                print("...where am I again?")
        
            def a_unique_method(self, to_print):
                print(to_print)
        
        
        All you would do is add the @assimilate decorator above both:
        
        
        @my_library.assimilate
        class SomeClassA
        ...
        
        
        @my_library.assimilate
        class OtherClassB
        ...
        
        
        Creating and converting an instance of one would look like:
        
        
        my_first_unique = SomeClassA()
        my_second_unique = SomeClassA()
        my_third_unique = OtherClassB()
        assert my_first_unique is not my_second_unique and my_third_unique is not my_first_unique
        
        first_b = SomeClassB(my_first_unique)
        second_b = SomeClassB(my_second_unique)
        third_b = SomeClassB(my_third_unique)
        assert (first_b is my_first_unique and second_b is my_second_unique and third_b is my_third_unique
            and first_b is not third_b and first_b is not second_b)
        
        And that's it! More advanced usage involves the @resist decorator, to avoid the self reference injection - but most
        devs don't need to worry about that. You can find more thorough documentation inside of the module. Classes with
        the @assimilate decorator can be subclassed and can be subclasses of other decorated or non-decorated classes.
