/**
 * A <code>TransferDropTargetListener</code> is a <code>DropTragetListener</code>
 * that handles one type of SWT {@link Transfer}.
 * The purpose of a <code>TransferDropTargetListener</code> is to:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Determine enablement for a drop operation. A <code>TransferDropTargetListener</code>
 * 		will not be used if <code>isEnabled</code> returns false.
 *   <li>When enabled, optionally show feedback on the <code>DropTarget</code>.
 *   <li>Perform the actual drop
 * </ul>
 * A <code>DelegatingDropAdapter</code> allows these functions to be implemented
 * separately for unrelated types of drags. <code>DelegatingDropAdapter</code> then
 * combines the function of each <code>TransferDropTargetListener</code>, while
 * allowing them to be implemented as if they were the only <code>DragSourceListener</code>.
