/**
 * This adapter wraps a Preference and converts it into a PropertyValueModel.
 * It listens for the appropriate "preference" changes and converts them into
 * VALUE property changes. It also allows the specification of a default value
 * for the Preference, which, by default, is null (and is probably *not* a very
 * good default).
 * 
 * You can configure whether the preference's value is returned,
 * unchanged, as a string or as some other object (e.g. an Integer) by
 * setting the adapter's converter. Internally, the preference's value
 * is stored as the converted object; and the conversions take place
 * when reading or writing from the preferences node or retrieving the
 * value from an event fired by the preferences node.
 * 
 * This adapter is a bit different from most other adapters because the
 * change events fired off by a Preferences node are asynchronous from
 * the change itself. (AbstractPreferences uses an event dispatch daemon.)
 * As a result, a client can set our value with #setValue(Object) and we
 * will return from that method before we ever receive notification from
 * the Preferences node that *it* has changed. This means we cannot
 * rely on that event to keep our internally cached value in synch.
