/**
 * A reconcile step is one of several steps of a
 * {@linkplain org.eclipse.jface.text.reconciler.IReconcilingStrategy reconcile strategy}
 * that consists of several steps. This relationship is not coded into an interface but
 * should be used by clients who's reconcile strategy consists of several steps.
 * 
 * If a reconcile step has an {@linkplain org.eclipse.jface.text.reconciler.IReconcilableModel input model}
 * it will compute the correct model for the next step in the chain and set the next steps
 * input model before reconcile gets called on that next step. After the last
 * step has reconciled the {@linkplain org.eclipse.jface.text.reconciler.IReconcileResult reconcile result}
 * array gets returned to the previous step. Each step in the chain adapts the result to its
 * input model and returns it to its previous step.
 * 
 * 
 * Example: Assume a strategy consists of steps A, B and C. And the main model is M.
 * The strategy will set M to be A's input model. What will happen is:
 * 

 *	A.setInputModel(M)
 * 	A.reconcile: A reconciles M
 *	A computes the model for B => MB
 *	B.setInputModel(MB)
 * 	B.reconcile: B reconciles MB
 *	B computes the model for C => MC
 *	C.setInputModel(MC)
 * 	C.reconcile: C reconciles MC
 * 	C returns result RC to step B
 *	B adapts the RC to MB and merges with its own results
 * 	B returns result RB to step A
 *	A adapts the result to M and merges with its own results
 * 	A returns the result to the reconcile strategy
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * This interface must be implemented by clients.

 * @since 3.0
