/**
 * A <code>TransformationWritablePropertyValueModel</code> wraps another
 * {@link ModifiablePropertyValueModel} and uses two {@link Transformer}s
 * to:<ul>
 * <li>transform the wrapped value before it is returned by {@link #getValue()}
 * <li>"reverse-transform" the new value that comes in via
 * {@link #setValue(Object)}
 * </ul>
 * <strong>NB:</strong> If the mapping between the wrapped values and the
 * transformed values is not strictly one-to-one, the behavior of the
 * transformation model may seem unpredictable; since the wrapped model's
 * change events can cause the transformation model's value to change.
 * For example: If the value is a string to be <em>transformed</em> to uppercase
 * and <em>reverse-transformed</em> to lowercase; then mixed case values passed to
 * the transformation model will be<ul>
 * <li>unchanged if the transformation model has <em>no</em> listeners
 * <li>changed to uppercase if the transformation model has any listeners
 * ({@link #wrappedValueChanged(org.eclipse.jpt.common.utility.model.event.PropertyChangeEvent)})
 * </ul>
 * As an alternative to building two {@link Transformer}s,
 * a subclass of <code>TransformationWritablePropertyValueModel</code> can
 * override {@link #transform_(Object)} and {@link #reverseTransform_(Object)};
 * or, if something other than <code>null</code> should be returned when the
 * wrapped value is <code>null</code> or the new value is <code>null</code>,
 * override {@link #transform(Object)} and {@link #reverseTransform(Object)}.
 * 
 * @param <V1> the type of the <em>wrapped</em> model's value
 * @param <V2> the type of the model's <em>transformed</em> value
