/**
 * Interface for strategies that register custom property editors with a
 * data binder. This is particularly useful when you need to use the
 * same set of property editors in several different situations: write
 * a corresponding registrar and reuse that in each case.
 *
 * Note: This interface is currently only intended for use with Web Flow
 * previews. It will be reworked into a more generic mechanism for Spring 1.3
 * and Web Flow 1.0, working on a passed-in PropertyEditorRegistry interface
 * rather than the DataBinder class, with the reworked version likely to
 * reside in the "org.springframework.beans" package.
