+/**
+ * NON-API - A ControlUpdater updates an SWT control in response to changes in the model.
+ * By wrapping a block of code in a ControlUpdater, clients can rely on the fact
+ * that the block of code will be re-executed whenever anything changes in the
+ * model that might affect its behavior.
+ *  
+ * <p>
+ * ControlUpdaters only execute when their controls are visible. If something changes
+ * in the model while the control is invisible, the updator is flagged as dirty and
+ * the updator stops listening to the model until the next time the control repaints.
+ * This saves CPU cycles by deferring UI updates to widgets that are currently invisible.
+ * </p>
+ * 
+ * <p>
+ * Clients should subclass this when copying information from the model to
+ * a control. Typical usage:
+ * </p>
+ * 
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Override updateControl. It should do whatever is necessary to display
+ *     the contents of the model in the control.</li>
+ * <li>In the constructor, attach listeners to the model. The listeners should 
+ *     call markDirty whenever anything changes in the model that affects 
+ *     updateControl. Note: this step can be omitted when calling any method
+ *     tagged with "@TrackedGetter" since ControlUpdater will automatically attach
+ *     a listener to any object if a "@TrackedGetter" method is called in
+ *     updateControl.</li>
+ * <li>(optional)Extend dispose() to remove any listeners attached in the constructor</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * 
+ * <p>
+ * Example:
+ * </p>
+ * 
+ * <code>
+ * // Displays an observable value in a label and keeps the label in synch with changes
+ * // in the value.
+ * IReadableValue someValue = ...
+ * final Label myLabel = new Label(parent, SWT.NONE);
+ * new ControlUpdater(myLabel) {
+ *      protected void updateControl() {
+ *         myLabel.setText(someValue.getValue().toString);
+ *      }
+ * }
+ * // myLabel will display the value of someValue the next time it repaints, and will automatically
+ * // be updated whenever someValue changes and the label is visible
+ * </code>
+ * 
+ * @since 1.1
