/**
 * Acts as a container for sub-beans and as a sub-bean,
 * so that an entire hierarchy of beans can be made up of
 * <code>BeanContext</code>s.
 * <P>
 *
 * Since I can't sprinkle the <code>Collections</code> interface
 * documentation with special information for <code>BeanContext</code>
 * implementors, I'll have to document special requirements for
 * implementors of those functions here.
 * <P>
 *
 * <code><strong>add()</strong></code> or <code>addAll()</code>:
 * <br>
 * <OL>
 *   <LI>
 *     May add any <code>Object</code> into the hierarchy as well as a
 *     <code>BeanContextChild</code>, <code>BeanContext</code> or
 *     <code>BeanContextProxy</code> object.
 *     This way, any Bean can be in the hierarchy.
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     Must synchronize on <code>BeanContext.globalHierarchyLock</code>.
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     Don't add the <code>Object</code> if it's already there (only once
 *     per <code>BeanContext</code>).
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     If it is a <code>BeanContextChild</code> implementor, call
 *     <code>setBeanContext()</code> on it.  If it's a
 *     <code>BeanContextProxy</code> implementor, call
 *     <code>getBeanContextProxy().setBeanContext()</code> on it.
 *     If <code>setBeanContext()</code> vetoes the change, back out
 *     all changes so far and throw <code>IllegalStateException</code>.
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     If it (or its proxy) implements <code>Visibility</code>, call
 *     <code>dontUseGui()</code> or <code>okToUseGui()</code> on it,
 *     depending on whether you (the <code>BeanContext</code>) feel like
 *     allowing it to use the GUI or not.
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     If it implements <code>BeanContextChild</code> or
 *     <code>BeanContextProxy</code>, register yourself (the
 *     <code>BeanContext</code>) as both a
 *     <code>PropertyChangeListener</code> and
 *     <code>VetoableChangeListener</code> on the "beanContext"
 *     property (it may also add itself on any other properties it wishes
 *     to).
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     If it is a listener or event source that you (the
 *     <code>BeanContext</code>) are interested in, you may register
 *     yourself to it or register it to you.
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     Fire a <code>java.beans.beancontext.BeanContextMembershipEvent</code>
 *     before exiting.  <code>addAll()</code> should wait until everything
 *     is done changing before firing the event (or events) so that if a
 *     failure occurs, the backing-out process can proceed without any
 *     events being fired at all.
 *   </LI>
 * </OL>
 * <P>
 *
 * <code><strong>remove()</strong></code> or <code>removeAll()</code>:
 * <br>
 * <OL>
 *   <LI>
 *     Must synchronize on <code>BeanContext.globalHierarchyLock</code>.
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     If the specified <code>Object</code> is not a child of this
 *     <code>BeanContext</code>, just exit without performing any actions.
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     Remove the <code>Object</code> from your collection of children.
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     If it is a <code>BeanContextChild</code> implementor, call
 *     <code>setBeanContext(null)</code> on it.  If it's a
 *     <code>BeanContextProxy</code> implementor, call
 *     <code>getBeanContextProxy().setBeanContext(null)</code> on it.
 *     If <code>setBeanContext()</code> vetoes the change, back out
 *     all changes so far and throw <code>IllegalStateException</code>.
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     If you registered the <code>Object</code> to listen to you or
 *     registered yourself as a listener on the <code>Object</code> during
 *     <code>add()</code> or <code>addAll()</code>, undo the registration
 *     bycalling the appropriate <code>removeListener()</code> method.
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     Fire a <code>java.beans.beancontext.BeanContextMembershipEvent</code>
 *     before exiting.  <code>removeAll()</code> should wait until
 *     everything is done changing before firing the event (or events) so
 *     that if a failure occurs, the backing-out process can proceed
 *     without any events being fired at all.
 *   </LI>
 * </OL>
 * <P>
 *
 * <code>addAll()</code>, <code>removeAll()</code>,
 * <code>retainAll()</code> and <code>clear()</code> do not need to be
 * implemented, but may be if so desired.
 * <P>
 *
 * Similarly, <code>Visibility</code> and <code>DesignMode</code> methods
 * should propagate changed values to children that implement interfaces
 * of the same name.
 * <P>
 *
 * A hierarchy of beans is mainly useful so that different sets of beans
 * can be established, each with their own set of resources.
