/**
 * Extends {@link IOperationApprover} to approve the execution of a particular
 * operation within an operation history. Operations that are candidates for
 * execution have already been validated against their current state and
 * according to the rules of the history. Prior to 3.2, an operation approver
 * was only consulted for undo and redo of an operation, not its initial
 * execution.
 * <p>
 * By the time an IOperationApprover2 is consulted, the execution has already
 * been requested and it has been determined that the operation is valid.
 * 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>
 * Like {@link IOperationApprover}, implementers of this extension 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.
