/**
 * This interface is implemented by classes which contain complex state
 * so that other objects can track whether or not their state has changed
 * since earlier interactions with the object.
 * <p>
 * The suggested usage pattern for code that manages some trackable data
 * is as follows:
 * <pre>
 * class Trackable implements StateTrackable {
 *     TrackedInfo data;
 *     State curState = STABLE;
 *     StateTracker curTracker = null;
 *     // Hypothetical method to return a static piece of our tracked data.
 *     // Assume that Datum is either a copy of some piece of the tracked
 *     // data or that it is itself immutable.
 *     public Datum getSomeDatum(int key) {
 *         // No need to modify the state for this type of "get" call.
 *         return data.getDatum(key);
 *     }
 *     // Hypothetical method to return a raw reference to our tracked data.
 *     public TrackedInfo getRawHandleToInfo() {
 *         // Since we are returning a raw reference to our tracked
 *         // data and since we can not track what the caller will
 *         // do with that reference, we can no longer track the
 *         // state of this data.
 *         synchronized (this) {
 *             // Note: modifying both curState and curTracker requires
 *             // synchronization against the getStateTracker method.
 *             curState = UNTRACKABLE;
 *             curTracker = null;
 *         }
 *         return data;
 *     }
 *     // Hypothetical method to set a single piece of data to some
 *     // new static value.
 *     public void setSomeDatum(int key, Datum datum) {
 *         data.setDatum(key, datum);
 *         // We do not need to change state for this, we simply
 *         // invalidate the outstanding StateTracker objects.
 *         // Note: setting curTracker to null requires no synchronization.
 *         curTracker = null;
 *     }
 *     // getStateTracker must be synchronized against any code that
 *     // changes the State.
 *     public synchronized StateTracker getStateTracker() {
 *         StateTracker st = curTracker;
 *         if (st == null) {
 *             switch (curState) {
 *                 case IMMUTABLE:   st = StateTracker.ALWAYS_CURRENT; break;
 *                 case STABLE:      st = new Tracker(this); break;
 *                 case DYNAMIC:     st = StateTracker.NEVER_CURRENT; break;
 *                 case UNTRACKABLE: st = StateTracker.NEVER_CURRENT; break;
 *             }
 *             curTracker = st;
 *         }
 *         return st;
 *     }
 *
 *     static class Tracker implements StateTracker {
 *         Trackable theTrackable;
 *         public Tracker(Trackable t) {
 *             theTrackable = t;
 *         }
 *         public boolean isCurrent() {
 *             return (theTrackable.curTracker == this);
 *         }
 *     }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * Note that the mechanism shown above for invalidating outstanding
 * StateTracker objects is not the most theoretically conservative
 * way to implement state tracking in a "set" method.
 * There is a small window of opportunity after the data has changed
 * before the outstanding StateTracker objects are invalidated and
 * where they will indicate that the data is still the same as when
 * they were instantiated.
 * While this is technically inaccurate, it is acceptable since the more
 * conservative approaches to state management are much more complex and
 * cost much more in terms of performance for a very small gain in
 * correctness.
 * For example:
 * <p>
 * The most conservative approach would be to synchronize all accesses
 * and all modifications to the data, including its State.
 * This would require synchronized blocks around some potentially large
 * bodies of code which would impact the multi-threaded scalability of
 * the implementation.
 * Further, if data is to be coordinated or transferred between two
 * trackable objects then both would need to be synchronized raising
 * the possibility of deadlock unless some strict rules of priority
 * for the locking of the objects were established and followed
 * religiously.
 * Either or both of these drawbacks makes such an implementation
 * infeasible.
 * <p>
 * A less conservative approach would be to change the state of the
 * trackable object to DYNAMIC during all modifications of the data
 * and then to change it back to STABLE after those modifications
 * are complete.
 * While this state transition more accurately reflects the temporary
 * loss of tracking during the modification phase, in reality the
 * time period of the modifications would be small in most cases
 * and the 2 changes of state would each require synchronization.
 * <p>
 * In comparison the act of setting the {@code curTracker}
 * reference to null in the usage pattern above effectively invalidates
 * all outstanding {@code Tracker} objects as soon as possible
 * after the change to the data and requires very little code and no
 * synchronization to implement.
 * <p>
 * In the end it is up to the implementor of a StateTrackable object
 * how fine the granularity of State updates should be managed based
 * on the frequency and atomicity of the modifications and the
 * consequences of returning an inaccurate State for a particularly
 * small window of opportunity.
 * Most implementations are likely to follow the liberal, but efficient
 * guidelines found in the usage pattern proposed above.
