/**
 * 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
