/**

* The Property is a simple data object that contains one typed
* value. This interface contains methods to inspect and modify the stored value
* and its type, and the object's read-only state.

*
*
* The Property also defines the events
* ReadOnlyStatusChangeEvent and ValueChangeEvent, and
* the associated listener and notifier interfaces.
*
*
*
* The Property.Viewer interface should be used to attach the
* Property to an external data source. This way the value in the data source
* can be inspected using the Property interface.
*

* The Property.editor interface should be implemented if the value
* needs to be changed through the implementing class.
