/**
 * <h1>Operators package</h1>
 * Contains so called "operators".<br><br>
 * <i>Operator</i> is a <i>test-side representation</i> for a component. Each
 * particular operator class provides all the functionality to work with one
 * component type. For example {@code JButtonOperator} covers
 * {@code javax.swing.JButton}.<br><br>
 * Operators inheritance tree exactly matches component types inheritance:
 * {@code AbstractButton} extending {@code JComponent} means that
 * {@code AbstractBittonOperator} extends
 * {@code JComponentOperator}.<br><br>
 * Every operator provides, basicly, all the methods to reproduce user actions
 * which can be performed on a component type covered by operator.<br><br>
 * Every operator also provides <i>mapping</i> functionality: API to invoke
 * component method during the event queue. For example,
 * {@code AbstractButtonOperator} has {@code getText()} method which
 * simply invokes {@code AbstractButton.getText()} through the
 * queue.<br><br>
