/**
 * <code>DocumentFilter, as the name implies, is a filter for the
 * <code>Document mutation methods. When a Document
 * containing a <code>DocumentFilter is modified (either through
 * <code>insert or remove), it forwards the appropriate
 * method invocation to the <code>DocumentFilter. The
 * default implementation allows the modification to
 * occur. Subclasses can filter the modifications by conditionally invoking
 * methods on the superclass, or invoking the necessary methods on
 * the passed in <code>FilterBypass. Subclasses should NOT call back
 * into the Document for the modification
 * instead call into the superclass or the <code>FilterBypass.
 * <p>
 * When <code>remove or insertString is invoked
 * on the <code>DocumentFilter, the DocumentFilter
 * may callback into the
 * <code>FilterBypass multiple times, or for different regions, but
 * it should not callback into the <code>FilterBypass after returning
 * from the <code>remove or insertString method.
 * <p>
 * By default, text related document mutation methods such as
 * <code>insertString, replace and remove
 * in <code>AbstractDocument use DocumentFilter when
 * available, and <code>Element related mutation methods such as
 * <code>create, insert and removeElement in
 * <code>DefaultStyledDocument do not use DocumentFilter.
 * If a method doesn't follow these defaults, this must be explicitly stated
 * in the method documentation.
 *
 * @see javax.swing.text.Document
 * @see javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument
 * @see javax.swing.text.DefaultStyledDocument
