/**
* A object to facilitate the resetting of a MaxentModel variable to a
* new value (model). In general this will be used anonymously, for example, as
* follows:
* <p>
* <pre>
* private final ModelReplacementManager replacementManager =
* new ModelReplacementManager(
* new ModelSetter() {
* public void setModel(MaxentModel m) {
* model = m;
* }
* }
* );
* </pre>
* <p>
* where "model" would be the actual variable name of the model used by your
* application which you wish to be able to swap (you might have other models
* which need their own ModelSetters).
*
* <p>
* Basically, this is just a clean way of giving a ModelReplacementManager
* access to a private variable holding the model. Nothing complex here.
