##! Framework for managing Bro's protocol analyzers.
##!
##! The analyzer framework allows to dynamically enable or disable analyzers, as
##! well as to manage the well-known ports which automatically active a particular
##! analyzer for new connections.
##!
##! Protocol analyzers are identified by unique tags of type
##! :bro:type:`Analyzer::Tag`, such as :bro:enum:`Analyzer::ANALYZER_HTTP` and
##! :bro:enum:`Analyzer::ANALYZER_HTTP`. These tags are defined internally by the
##! analyzers themselves, and documented in their analyzer-specific description along with the
##! events that they generate.
##!
##! .. todo: ``The ANALYZER_*`` are in fact not yet documented, we need to add that
##! to Broxygen.
