/**
 *  An instance of the <code>Spring</code> class holds three properties that
 *  characterize its behavior: the <em>minimum</em>, <em>preferred</em>, and
 *  <em>maximum</em> values. Each of these properties may be involved in
 *  defining its fourth, <em>value</em>, property based on a series of rules.
 *  <p>
 *  An instance of the <code>Spring</code> class can be visualized as a
 *  mechanical spring that provides a corrective force as the spring is compressed
 *  or stretched away from its preferred value. This force is modelled
 *  as linear function of the distance from the preferred value, but with
 *  two different constants -- one for the compressional force and one for the
 *  tensional one. Those constants are specified by the minimum and maximum
 *  values of the spring such that a spring at its minimum value produces an
 *  equal and opposite force to that which is created when it is at its
 *  maximum value. The difference between the <em>preferred</em> and
 *  <em>minimum</em> values, therefore, represents the ease with which the
 *  spring can be compressed and the difference between its <em>maximum</em>
 *  and <em>preferred</em> values, indicates the ease with which the
 *  <code>Spring</code> can be extended.
 *  See the {@link #sum} method for details.
 *
 *  <p>
 *  By defining simple arithmetic operations on <code>Spring</code>s,
 *  the behavior of a collection of <code>Spring</code>s
 *  can be reduced to that of an ordinary (non-compound) <code>Spring</code>. We define
 *  the "+", "-", <em>max</em>, and <em>min</em> operators on
 *  <code>Spring</code>s so that, in each case, the result is a <code>Spring</code>
 *  whose characteristics bear a useful mathematical relationship to its constituent
 *  springs.
 *
 *  <p>
 *  A <code>Spring</code> can be treated as a pair of intervals
 *  with a single common point: the preferred value.
 *  The following rules define some of the 
 *  arithmetic operators that can be applied to intervals
 *  (<code>[a, b]</code> refers to the interval
 *  from <code>a</code>
 *  to <code>b</code>,
 *  where <code>a <= b</code>).
 *  <p>
 *  <pre>
 *          [a1, b1] + [a2, b2] = [a1 + a2, b1 + b2]
 *
 *                      -[a, b] = [-b, -a]
 *
 *      max([a1, b1], [a2, b2]) = [max(a1, a2), max(b1, b2)]
 *  </pre>
 *  <p>
 *  
 *  If we denote <code>Spring</code>s as <code>[a, b, c]</code>,
 *  where <code>a <= b <= c</code>, we can define the same
 *  arithmetic operators on <code>Spring</code>s:
 *  <p>
 *  <pre>
 *          [a1, b1, c1] + [a2, b2, c2] = [a1 + a2, b1 + b2, c1 + c2]
 *
 *                           -[a, b, c] = [-c, -b, -a]
 *
 *      max([a1, b1, c1], [a2, b2, c2]) = [max(a1, a2), max(b1, b2), max(c1, c2)]
 *  </pre>
 *  <p>
 *  With both intervals and <code>Spring</code>s we can define "-" and <em>min</em>
 *  in terms of negation:
 *  <p>
 *  <pre>
 *      X - Y = X + (-Y)
 *
 *      min(X, Y) = -max(-X, -Y)
 *  </pre>
 *  <p>
 *  For the static methods in this class that embody the arithmetic
 *  operators, we do not actually perform the operation in question as
 *  that would snapshot the values of the properties of the method's arguments
 *  at the time the static method is called. Instead, the static methods
 *  create a new <code>Spring</code> instance containing references to
 *  the method's arguments so that the characteristics of the new spring track the
 *  potentially changing characteristics of the springs from which it
 *  was made. This is a little like the idea of a <em>lazy value</em>
 *  in a functional language.
 * <p>
 * If you are implementing a <code>SpringLayout</code> you
 * can find further information and examples in
 * <a
 href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/spring.html">How to Use SpringLayout</a>,
 * a section in <em>The Java Tutorial.</em>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
 * future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
 * appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
 * the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
 * of all JavaBeans<sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup>
 * has been added to the <code>java.beans</code> package.
 * Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.
