    """The Application singleton.

    `Application` and `AppServer` work together to setup up and dispatch requests.
    The distinction between the two is largely historical, but AppServer
    communicates directly with Adapters (or speaks protocols like HTTP), and
    Application receives the (slightly) processed input from AppServer and turns
    it into `Transaction`, `HTTPRequest`, `HTTPResponse`, and `Session`.

    Application is a singleton, which belongs to the AppServer. You can get access
    through the Transaction object (`transaction.application()`), or you can do::

        from AppServer import globalAppServer
        application = globalAppServer.application()

    Settings for Application are taken from ``Configs/Application.config``,
    which is used for many global settings, even if they aren't closely tied
    to the Application object itself.
