/**
 * This {@link AspectAdapter} provides basic property change support.
 * This converts an "aspect" (as defined by subclasses) into
 * a single {@link #VALUE} property.
 * <p>
 * The typical subclass will override the following methods:<ul>
 * <li>{@link #engageSubject_()}<p>
 *     implement this method to add the appropriate listener to the subject
 * <li>{@link #disengageSubject_()}<p>
 *     implement this method to remove the appropriate listener from the subject
 * <li>{@link #buildValue_()}<p>
 *     at the very minimum, override this method to return the value of the
 *     subject's aspect (or "virtual" aspect); it does not need to be
 *     overridden if {@link #buildValue()} is overridden and its behavior changed
 * <li>{@link #setValue_(Object)}<p>
 *     override this method if the client code needs to <em>set</em> the value of
 *     the subject's aspect; oftentimes, though, the client code (e.g. UI)
 *     will need only to <em>get</em> the value; it does not need to be
 *     overridden if {@link #setValue(Object)} is overridden and its behavior changed
 * <li>{@link #buildValue()}<p>
 *     override this method only if returning a <code>null</code> value when
 *     the subject is <code>null</code> is unacceptable
 * <li>{@link #setValue(Object)}<p>
 *     override this method only if something must be done when the subject
 *     is <code>null</code> (e.g. throw an exception)
 * </ul>
 * To notify listeners, subclasses can call {@link #propertyChanged()}
 * whenever the aspect has changed.
