/**
* Base class that provides most of the functionality needed to implement a
* {@link Binding} of a {@code String}.
*
* {@code StringBinding} provides a simple invalidation-scheme. An extending
* class can register dependencies by calling {@link #bind(Observable...)}.
* If One of the registered dependencies becomes invalid, this
* {@code StringBinding} is marked as invalid. With
* {@link #unbind(Observable...)} listening to dependencies can be stopped.
*
* To provide a concrete implementation of this class, the method
* {@link #computeValue()} has to be implemented to calculate the value of this
* binding based on the current state of the dependencies. It is called when
* {@link #get()} is called for an invalid binding.
*
* See {@link DoubleBinding} for an example how this base class can be extended.
