/**
 * A class to encapsulate the operations required of an object which
 * is merely a reference to another object, something we call a shadow.
 * Such shadows are needed to support a GUI which displays the same
 * object in multiple places. To enable that, it is necessary not to
 * use the same physical object in each UI representation as the UI
 * will only know how to update/refresh the first one it finds.
 * <p>
 * These references are not persistent. Persistent references are managed
 * by the subclass SystemPersistableReferencingObject.
 * @noimplement This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
 * The standard implementations are included in the framework.
