/**
 * Wraps a model of a single value, in a model capable of storing a list of values.
 *    
 * Multiple-entry text fields can allow the user to select multiple values.
 * However, if they have a "non-multiple" version, the user can only select one value.
 * The appropriate model for such a field is a Model<X> but the multiple-entry text field will
 * require a Model<List<X>>. 
 *    
 * An object of this class allows the application to provide a Model<X> but the multiple-value
 * text field (which is operating in single-value mode) to see a Model<List<X>>.
