/** A class for button policies.
    A state machine implementation of the various button policies used by the
    dialogs. Only the policy is implemented here.  Separate ButtonController
    classes are needed for each GUI implementation.

    Policy
	The name of the policy
    ReadOnly
	Does the policy treat read-only docs differently to read-write docs?
	This usually means that when an SMI_READ_ONLY input arrives then
	all the buttons are disabled except Cancel/Close.  The state
	machine tracks the inputs (valid/invalid) and has states for all
	combinations. When an SMI_READ_WRITE input arrives the appropriate
	machine state is entered (just as if the document had always been
	read-write).
	NOTE: If a dialog doesn't care about the read-only status of a document
	(and uses an appropriate policy) it can never get into a read-only state
	so isReadOnly() can only ever return false even though the document may
	be read-only.
    Repeated Apply
	Simply means that it is alright to use the Apply button multiple times
	without requiring a change of the dialog contents.  If no repeating is
	allowed the Ok+Apply buttons are deactivated.  The Preferences dialog
	has its own special version of repeated apply handling because its Ok
	button is actually a Save button -- it is always reasonable to Save the
	preferences if the dialog has changed since the last save.

    The IgnorantPolicy is a special case that allows anything.
