/** This class extends `CAbstractNavigator` with the capability of following a
 * list of waypoints. By default, waypoints are followed one by one,
 *  but, if they are tagged with `allow_skip=true` **and** the derived navigator
 * class supports it, the navigator may choose to skip some to
 *  make a smoother, safer and shorter navigation.
 *
 * Waypoints have an optional `target_heading` field, which will be honored only
 * for waypoints that are skipped, and if the underlying robot
 * interface supports the pure-rotation methods.
 *
 * Notes on navigation status and event dispatchment:
 *  - Navigation state may briefly pass by the `IDLE` status between a waypoint
 * is reached and a new navigation command is issued towards the next waypoint.
 *  - `sendNavigationEndEvent()` will be called only when the last waypoint is
 * reached.
 *  - Reaching an intermediary waypoint (or skipping it if considered so by the
 * navigator) generates a call to `sendWaypointReachedEvent()` instead.
 *
 * \sa Base class CAbstractNavigator, CWaypointsNavigator::navigateWaypoints(),
 * and derived classes.
