/**
 * Elgg Actions
 *
 * Actions are the primary controllers (The C in MVC) in Elgg. They are
 * registered by {@link register_elgg_action()} and are called either by URL
 * http://elggsite.org/action/action_name or {@link action($action_name}.  For
 * URLs, a rewrite rule in .htaccess passes the action name to
 * engine/handlers/action_handler.php, which dispatches the action.
 *
 * An action name should be registered to exactly one file in the system, usually under
 * the actions/ directory.
 *
 * All actions require security tokens.  Using the {@elgg_view input/form} view
 * will automatically add tokens as hidden inputs.  To manually add hidden inputs,
 * use the {@elgg_view input/securitytoken} view.
 *
 * To include security tokens for actions called via GET, use
 * {@link elgg_add_security_tokens_to_url()}.
 *
 * Action tokens can be manually generated by using {@link generate_action_token()}.
 *
 * @tip When registered, actions can be restricted to logged in or admin users.
 *
 * @tip Action URLs should be called with a trailing / to prevent 301 redirects.
 *
 * @package Elgg.Core
 * @subpackage Actions

*
* The plugin hook action, $action_name will be emitted before
