/**
 * <P>StateEdit is a general edit for objects that change state.
 * Objects being edited must conform to the StateEditable interface.</P>
 *
 * <P>This edit class works by asking an object to store it's state in
 * Hashtables before and after editing occurs.  Upon undo or redo the
 * object is told to restore it's state from these Hashtables.</P>
 *
 * A state edit is used as follows:
 * <PRE>
 *      // Create the edit during the "before" state of the object
 *      StateEdit newEdit = new StateEdit(myObject);
 *      // Modify the object
 *      myObject.someStateModifyingMethod();
 *      // "end" the edit when you are done modifying the object
 *      newEdit.end();
 * </PRE>
 *
 * <P>Note that when a StateEdit ends, it removes redundant state from
 * the Hashtables - A state Hashtable is not guaranteed to contain all
 * keys/values placed into it when the state is stored!</EM>
