[kepler-dev] Override a ptolemyII class within my module

[Panickos Neophytou]

Hi Christopher,

I basically wrote a new receiver that batches together sets of single
tokens into arrayTokens and passes them to the actor as an array. This of
course only works for Actors capable of working with ArrayTokens. Anyway
that's no the real point.

The reason I want to change the TypedIOPort is to avoid the type checking
when a transferInside() call is made on input ports of composite actors. I
get an exception every time a token is transfered.

One hack I tried was to switch the type of the actor whenever it had a new
token to pass and then turn it back for when a put() happen to be on the
correct single token type. This works when the director is a single
threaded one, but on my variation of the PN director it was causing
immediate deadlocks.

Cheers,
Panickos
