/**
 * A service for managing {@link WrapperPlugin}s of a particular type. A
 * {@link WrapperPlugin} is a stateful {@link TypedPlugin} which wraps a
 * particular object of its associated data type. For any given data object, the
 * service is capable of wrapping it with the most appropriate wrapper by
 * sequentially querying each {@link WrapperPlugin} on its list for
 * compatibility.
 * 
 * Note that like {@link PTService}, {@link SingletonService} and
 * {@link TypedService}, {@code WrapperService} is not a service interface
 * defining API for a specific concrete service implementation, but rather a
 * more general layer in a type hierarchy intended to ease creation of services
 * that fit its pattern.
