/**
 * A class for determining the state of the {@link java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK CAPS LOCK
 * key}. It also supports notification when the locking state changes.
 * 
 * Although it is possible to use {@link Toolkit#getLockingKeyState(int)} to determine the current
 * state of the CAPS LOCK key, that method is not guaranteed to work on all platforms. This class
 * attempts to handle those shortfalls and provide an easy mechanism for listening to state changes.
 * 
 * 
 * CapsLockSupport cls = CapsLockSupport.getInstance();
 * // for get the current state of the caps lock key
 * boolean currentState = cls.isCapsLockEnabled();
 * // for listening to changes in the caps lock state
 * cls.addPropertyChangeListener("capsLockEnabled", myListener);
 * 
 * 
 * There is one special case to be aware of. If {@code CapsLockSupport} is not able to determine the
 * state of the CAPS LOCK key, then {@link #isInitialized()} will return {@code false} until it is
 * able to introspect a {@link KeyEvent} and determine the current locking state. If
 * {@code CapsLockSupport} must use delayed initialization, it will fire a property change to notify
 * listeners that it is now in an accurate state.
