* How to Override this Method
*
*
* There are several important things that must take place in the correct
* order to properly add or insert a Widget to a Panel. Not all of these steps
* will be relevant to every Panel, but all of the steps must be considered.
*
* - Validate: Perform any sanity checks to ensure the Panel can
* accept a new Widget. Examples: checking for a valid index on insertion;
* checking that the Panel is not full if there is a max capacity.
* - Adjust for Reinsertion: Some Panels need to handle the case
* where the Widget is already a child of this Panel. Example: when performing
* a reinsert, the index might need to be adjusted to account for the Widget's
* removal. See {@link ComplexPanel#adjustIndex(Widget, int)}.
* - Detach Child: Remove the Widget from its existing parent, if
* any. Most Panels will simply call {@link Widget#removeFromParent()} on the
* Widget.
* - Logical Attach: Any state variables of the Panel should be
* updated to reflect the addition of the new Widget. Example: the Widget is
* added to the Panel's {@link WidgetCollection} at the appropriate index.
* - Physical Attach: The Widget's Element must be physically
* attached to the Panel's Element, either directly or indirectly.
* - Adopt: Call {@link #adopt(Widget)} to finalize the add as the
* very last step.
*

*
* @param child the widget to be added
* @throws UnsupportedOperationException if this method is not supported (most
* often this means that a specific overload must be called)
* @see HasWidgets#add(Widget)
