 * Abstract list property implementation for {@link Viewer} properties. This

 * expected to have, namely:
 * <ul>
 * <li>Calling {@link #observe(Object)} should create the observable on the
 * display realm of the viewer's control, rather than the current default realm
 * <li>All <code>observe()</code> methods should return an
 * {@link IViewerObservableList}
 * </ul>
