/**
 * Abstract superclass of all data containers. A data container holds an
 * ordered list of {@link DataElement DataElements} of the same type.
 * <p>
 * Data elements can be added, inserted, removed, or replaced.
 * Such an action leads to a {@link DataEvent} which will be delivered to
 * all {@link DataListener DataListeners} observing this 
 * <code>DataContainer</code>. If this data container also implements 
 * {@link DataEvent} (as {@link DataCurve} does) also the listeners
 * registrated at the data container containg this container will be notified.
 * As a consequence a <tt>DataListener</tt> must only be registered at the
 * {@link DataPlot} instance and it will automatically also received events
 * caused by manipulating one of its <tt>DataCurves</tt>.
 * <p>
 * Concrete subclasses have to implement {@link #isValid} which
 * checks whether the added or inserted <tt>DataElement</tt> is of the right
 * type. This is an application of the Template Method Design Pattern.
