/**
 * This interface defines the model for wizards. This model knows about the wizard's steps and the
 * transitions between them, and it holds a reference to the currently active step. It might
 * function as a generic state holder for the wizard too, though you might find it more convenient
 * to use the wizard component itself for that, or even an external model.
 * 
 * <p>
 * {@link IWizardModelListener wizard model listeners} can be registered to be notified of important
 * events (changing the active step) using the {@link #addListener(IWizardModelListener) add
 * listener} method.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Typically, you would use {@link WizardModel the default implementation of this interface}, but if
 * you need to do more sophisticated stuff, like branching etc, you can consider creating your own
 * implementation. In that case, it is recommended you start by extending from
 * {@link AbstractWizardModel}.
 * </p>

 * <a href="https://wizard-framework.dev.java.net/">Swing Wizard Framework</a> served as a valuable
 * source of inspiration.
