    BlockValues depend on one or more other objects (typically valueHolders)

    and recompute a value whenever one of them changes.

    If the recomputed new value is different, it triggers itself a change to its dependents.

    A typical example use is to base an enableChannel's value on multiple other 

    boolean (or non-boolean) values. (See example for how this is done)

    Notice, that a BlockValue can also be created without depending on any other

    object (i.e. BlockValue with:aBlock). In this case, a recomputation must be explicitly

    triggered by sending #recomputeValue to the blockValue instance.

    Notice: 

        this class was implemented using protocol information

        from alpha testers - it may not be complete or compatible to

        the corresponding ST-80 class. 

        If you encounter any incompatibilities, please forward a note 

        describing the incompatibility verbal (i.e. no code) to the ST/X team.

    Warning:

        BlockValues only work ine one direction; changing the blockValue's value

        does not affect the original model's value.
