    abstract superclass for ValueHolders and Adaptors.

    It does not itself know how and where the value is stored,

    but knows about interested objects (which get informed, whenever

    the value changes) and keeps track if the value was ever accepted.

    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 to the ST/X team.

    subclasses must redefine: #setValue: and #value

    (and optionally redefine #value:)
