/**
 * <p>
 * IOperationApprover defines an interface for approving the undo or redo of a
 * particular operation within an operation history. Operations that are
 * candidates for undo or redo have already been validated against their current
 * state and according to the rules of the history.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * By the time an IOperationApprover is consulted, the undo has already been
 * requested. Approvers should return an <code>IStatus</code> object with
 * severity <code>OK</code> if the operation should proceed, and any other
 * severity if it should not. When an operation is not approved, it is expected
 * that the object not allowing the operation has already consulted the user if
 * necessary or otherwise provided any necessary information to the user about
 * the fact that the operation is not approved.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Operation approvers must be prepared to receive the approval messages from a
 * background thread. Any UI access occurring inside the implementation must be
 * properly synchronized using the techniques specified by the client's widget
 * library.
