/**
 * This class represents the Presenter (P) in the MVP pattern for constructing
 * UI.
 * <p/>
 * The View represents some bag of element references and a definition of
 * logical events sources by the View.
 * <p/>
 * The Model is not an explicit entity in this class hierarchy, and is simply a
 * name used to refer to the instance state used by the Presenter. Concrete
 * implementations may choose to abstract instance state behind an explicit
 * Model class if they so choose.
 * <p/>
 * The View can be injected at any point in time.
 * <p/>
 * Presenters contain the logic for handling events sourced by the View,
 * updating the Model, and for taking changes to the Model and propagating them
 * to the View.
