/**
An InstantiableNamedObj is a named object that can be either a class
definition or an instance. If it is a class definition, then "instances" of
that class definition can be created by the instantiate() method. Those
instances are called the "children" of this "parent." Changes
to the parent propagate automatically to the children as described
in the {@link Instantiable} interface.
<p>
Note that the {@link #instantiate(NamedObj, String)} permits instantiating
an object into a workspace that is different from the one associated with
this object. This means that some care must be exercised when propagating
changes from a parent to a child, since they may be in different workspaces.
Suppose for example that the change that has to propagate is made via a
change request. Although it may be a safe time to execute a change request
in the parent, it is not necessarily a safe time to execute a change request
in the child. Classes that restrict these safe times should override
the propagateExistence(), propagateValue(), and propagateValues() methods
to ensure that the destinations of the propagation are in a state that
they can accept changes.
