ClassicCommDetector is the "old" method that has been used since there
is commflagging in myth.
I moved that code into a bit more modular form in the hopes that it
would be easier for myself and others
to expiriment with alternative commflagging methods. CommDetect2 is
such an alternative, written by
Robert Tsai. I think it worked quite okay for him. Your millage may
vary wildly depending on the kind
of channel you are commflagging.
