/**
 * A helper class, making it easy to support undo and redo.
 *
 * <p>The following example shows how to use this class.</p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * Foo foo; // class Foo implements {@link StateEditable}
 * StateEdit edit;
 *
 * edit = new StateEdit(foo, "Name Change");
 * foo.setName("Jane Doe");
 * edit.end();
 * undoManager.addEdit(edit);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>If <code>Foo</code>&#x2019;s implementation of {@link
 * StateEditable} considers the name as part of the editable state,
 * the user can now choose &#x201c;Undo Name Change&#x201d; or
 * &#x201c;Redo Name Change&#x201d; from the respective menu. No
 * further undo support is needed from the application.</p>
 *
 * <p>The following explains what happens in the example.</p>
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>When a <code>StateEdit</code> is created, the associated
 *     {@link StateEditable} gets asked to store its state into a hash
 *     table, {@link #preState}.</li>
 * <li>The application will now perform some changes to the edited
 *     object. This typically happens by invoking methods on the edited
 *     object.</li>
 * <li>The editing phase is terminated by invoking the {@link #end()}
 *     method of the <code>StateEdit</code>. The <code>end()</code> method
 *     does two things.
 *
 *     <ul>
 *     <li>The edited object receives a second request for storing
 *         its state.  This time, it will use a different hash table, {@link
 *         #postState}.</li>
 *     <li>To increase efficiency, the <code>StateEdit</code> now removes
 *         any entries from {@link #preState} and {@link #postState} that have
 *         the same key, and whose values are equal. Equality is determined
 *         by invoking the <code>equals</code> method inherited from
 *         {@link java.lang.Object}.</li>
 *     </ul></li>
 * <li>When the user later chooses to undo the <code>StateEdit</code>,
 * the edited object is asked to {@linkplain StateEditable#restoreState
 * restore its state} from the {@link #preState} table.  Similarly,
 * when the user chooses to <i>redo</i> the <code>StateEdit</code>,
 * the edited object gets asked to restore its state from the {@link
 * #postState}.</li>
 * </ol>
