 * Displayable is designed to wrap enumerated value and its human readable meaning together.<br>
 * This is very convenient for the view layer as in view layer both text and value are required
 * .<br>
 * For projects with no i18n requirement the Displayable can take role of the interpreter by
 * implementing <code>createText()</code>
