/**
  * Package `mvcfx` helps in implementation of Model-View-Controller-like patters, we call it MVCfx.
  * The pattern is build around use of views defined in FXML (the view), with binding to ScalaFX using ScalaFXML library.
  *
  * There are two cooperating classes `ControllerFX` for binding FXML to Scala code
  * and `ModelFX` that contains logic for the component.
  * An additional helper `MVCfx` class is provided to instantiate the `ControllerFX` and the corresponding `ModelFX`.
  *
  * The structure of the UI component is defined in a standard JavaFX FXML file.
  * The Scala side of the FXML is in a class `ControllerFX`.
  * Part of the `ControllerFX` is automatically generated by ScalaFXML macro, the rest can be customized as needed,
  * including binding of the UI to appropriate parts of the component logic represented by the `ModelFX`.
  * Use of the `MVCfx` is optional and primarily intended to simplify instantiation of the `ControllerFX`
  * and the `ModelFX`.
  *
  * Below is an example using the classes in `mvcfx`. The code implements a simple Stop Watch.
  * The complete code is in demos part of the ScalaFX Extras project.
  *
  * Note the recommended naming convention used:
  * * StopWatch extends MVCfx
  * * StopWatchModel extends ModelFX
  * * StopWatchController extends ControllerFX
  * * StopWatch.fxml the FXVM declaration of the view
  *
  * First we have the FXML definitions representing the structure of the user interface
  * (`org/scalafx/extras/mvcfx/stopwatch/StopWatch.fxml`)
