/**
	Base class for custom f.lux properties. A `Property` has a lifespan from when the state property
	is mapped until it is replaced/deleted. This differs from {@link Shadow} as its lifespan
	that lasts from the time of mapping until the state property is replaced/deleted OR the
	shadow property is invalidated due to a local change or a descendant property change.

	Most shadow state properties can be implemented without writing a `Property` subclass, relying on
	autoshadowing, or defining the state structure using {@link StateType} along with one of the
	built-in property class `createClass()` static methods. The primary reason for writing a
	`Property` subclass is to tie into the f.lux property life-cycle.

	This class provides an experimental check pointing api. Check pointing allows the state to
	be recorded at a point in time and then later reset to that point. This is handy when a form
	may accept changes and then allow the user to cancel the edit session.

	Life cycle methods:
	<ul>
		<li>`propertyWillShadow()` - invoked just before a state property is going to be shadowed using
			this instance. Shadow state is not valid during this method.</li>
		<li>`propertyDidShadow()` - property was shadowed and fully functional.</li>
		<li>`propertyChildInvalidated(childProperty, sourceProperty)` - a child property mutation action
			has occurred and it's value will change in store's next update.</li>
		<li>`propertyDidUpdate()` - state managed by this property has changed.</li>
		<li>`propertyWillUnshadow()` - invoked just before the shadow property is removed from the shadow
			state because the state property being shadowed has been removed from the application state.</li>
	</ul>

		model.a.b.c === undefined
