/**
 * Responsible for managing IStructuredModels.
 * 
 * This allows clients to share models, so they do not have to be re-created
 * or passed around from one client to another. Clients should internally
 * enforce that models are gotten and released from locations close to each
 * other to prevent model leaks.
 * 
 * There are three ways to get a model based on usage and responsibility: for
 * 'MODIFY', just for 'SHARED', and 'UNSHARED'. Contrary to their names, a
 * model can technically be modified, and all modifications directly affect
 * the commonly shared version of the model. It is part of the API contract,
 * however, that clients who get a model for SHARED do not modify it. The
 * significance of the 'MODIFY' model is that the client is registering their
 * interest in saving changes to the model.
 * 
 * Clients can reference this interface, but should not implement.
 * 
 * @see org.eclipse.wst.sse.core.StructuredModelManager
