/**
* <h1>Operators package</h1>
* Contains so called "operators".<br><br>
* <i>Operator</i> is a <i>test-side representation</i> for a component. Each
* particular operator class provides all the functionality to work with one
* component type. For example {@code JButtonOperator} covers
* {@code javax.swing.JButton}.<br><br>
* Operators inheritance tree exactly matches component types inheritance:
* {@code AbstractButton} extending {@code JComponent} means that
* {@code AbstractBittonOperator} extends
* {@code JComponentOperator}.<br><br>
* Every operator provides, basicly, all the methods to reproduce user actions
* which can be performed on a component type covered by operator.<br><br>
* Every operator also provides <i>mapping</i> functionality: API to invoke
* component method during the event queue. For example,
* {@code AbstractButtonOperator} has {@code getText()} method which
* simply invokes {@code AbstractButton.getText()} through the
* queue.<br><br>
