 * Describes a component that listens to TimeBoundsProviders, for the purpose
 * of figuring out the overall time bounds when contributions to the bounds will
 * be made from several other objects, some of which may or may not be active. A
 * TimeBoundsHandler is the go-between object between TimeBoundsProviders and
 * TimeBoundsListeners. The TimeBoundsHandler will look for TimeBoundsListeners
 * in the MapHandler and will notify them when the overall time bounds change.
