* Provides a mechanism to listen for packets that pass a specified filter.

* the {@link #processStanza(Stanza)} method will be called. This is the
* opposite approach to the functionality provided by a {@link StanzaCollector}
* which lets you block while waiting for results.
* <p>
* Additionally you are able to intercept Packets that are going to be send and
* make modifications to them. You can register a PacketListener as interceptor
* by using {@link XMPPConnection#addPacketInterceptor(StanzaListener,
* org.jivesoftware.smack.filter.StanzaFilter)}
