/** This class mirrors the behavior of an Operator's apply-method with respect to the
* I/O meta data. This functionality is performed by a class of its own (rather than another
* method in Operator) to keep Operator lean and since it is assumed that most meta data
* transformations can be handled by a small set of standard rules.
*
* The general rule is that methods of this package should not throw exceptions but rather
* register possible errors with the ports if preconditions are not satisfied etc.
