/**

 * An abstract class to be used in the cases where we need {@code Runnable}

 * to perform  some actions on an appendable set of data.

 * The set of data might be appended after the {@code Runnable} is

 * sent for the execution. Usually such {@code Runnables} are sent to

 * the EDT.

 *

 * <p>

 * Usage example:

 *

 * <p>

 * Say we want to implement JLabel.setText(String text) which sends

 * {@code text} string to the JLabel.setTextImpl(String text) on the EDT.

 * In the event JLabel.setText is called rapidly many times off the EDT

 * we will get many updates on the EDT but only the last one is important.

 * (Every next updates overrides the previous one.)

 * We might want to implement this {@code setText} in a way that only

 * the last update is delivered.

 * <p>

 * Here is how one can do this using {@code AccumulativeRunnable}:

 * <pre>

 * AccumulativeRunnable<String> doSetTextImpl =

 * new  AccumulativeRunnable<String>() {

 *     @Override

 *     protected void run(List<String> args) {

 *         //set to the last string being passed

 *         setTextImpl(args.get(args.size() - 1));

 *     }

 * }

 * void setText(String text) {

 *     //add text and send for the execution if needed.

 *     doSetTextImpl.add(text);

 * }

 * </pre>

 *

 * <p>

 * Say we want want to implement addDirtyRegion(Rectangle rect)

 * which sends this region to the

 * handleDirtyRegions(List<Rect> regiouns) on the EDT.

 * addDirtyRegions better be accumulated before handling on the EDT.

 *

 * <p>

 * Here is how it can be implemented using AccumulativeRunnable:

 * <pre>

 * AccumulativeRunnable<Rectangle> doHandleDirtyRegions =

 *     new AccumulativeRunnable<Rectangle>() {

 *         @Override

 *         protected void run(List<Rectangle> args) {

 *             handleDirtyRegions(args);

 *         }

 *     };

 *  void addDirtyRegion(Rectangle rect) {

 *      doHandleDirtyRegions.add(rect);

 *  }

 * </pre>

 *
