/**
The base class for schedulers. A scheduler schedules the execution
order of the containees of a CompositeActor. <p>
A scheduler is contained by a StaticSchedulingDirector, and provides
the schedule for it. The director will use this schedule to govern
the execution of a CompositeActor. <p>
A schedule is represented by the Schedule class, and determines the
order of the firing of the actors in a particular composite actor. In
this base class, the default schedule fires the deeply
contained actors in the order of their construction. A domain specific
scheduler will override this to provide a different order. <p>
The schedule, once constructed, is cached and reused as long as the
schedule is still valid. The validity of the schedule is set by the
setValid() method. If the current schedule is not valid, then the
schedule will be recomputed the next time the getSchedule() method is
called. However, derived classes will usually override only the
protected _getSchedule() method. <p>
The scheduler does not perform any mutations, and it does not listen
for changes in the model. Directors that use this scheduler should
normally invalidate the schedule when mutations occur.
