/**
 * A "collection change" event gets delivered whenever a model changes a "bound"
 * or "constrained" collection. A CollectionChangeEvent is sent as an
 * argument to the CollectionChangeListener.
 * 
 * Normally a CollectionChangeEvent is accompanied by the collection name and
 * the items that were added to or removed from the changed collection.
 * 
 * Design options:
 * - create a collection to wrap a single added or removed item
 * 	(this is the option we implemented below and in collaborating code)
 * 	since there is no way to optimize downstream code for
 * 	single items, we take another performance hit by building
 * 	a collection each time  (@see Collections#singleton(Object))
 * 	and forcing downstream code to use an iterator every time
 * 
 * - fire a separate event for each item added or removed
 * 	eliminates any potential for optimizations to downstream code
 * 
 * - add protocol to support both single items and collections
 * 	adds conditional logic to downstream code
 * 
 * Provisional API: This class is part of an interim API that is still
 * under development and expected to change significantly before reaching
 * stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from
 * pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API
 * will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
