/**
The base class for actors specific to the DE domain. This class
implements both SequenceActor and TimedActor.
<p>
A DE domain-specific actor, like the
{@link ptolemy.domains.de.lib.TimedDelay} actor, needs to extend this
class. However, it does not mean only actors extending this class can
be used in the DE domain. For example, the {@link ptolemy.actor.lib.Clock}
actor can be used in DE domain.
