+ * <h1>NullLifeCycle</h1>
+ *
+ * This is a convenience class for those Objects which should
+ * implement LifeCycle, but don't have anything to do in any of the
+ * LifeCycle methods defined. Extending
+ * NullLifeCycle reduces the required methods for the class by 5.
+ * Any one or two of them can be overloaded.<p>
+ *
+ * If more are overloaded, it is
+ * recommended just to implement LifeCycle.
+ * <p>
+ *
+ * This only works, though, if the Object doesn't need to extend something
+ * else, due to Java's Single Extension policy. In other cases, just
+ * implement LifeCycle, and leave them empty.
