// This class defines toggling facility for both - object's method or   //

// Assume that user provides an object with a two-state field, and      //
// methods to Get/Set value of this field. This object enables to switch//
// values via this method when the only thing you know about the field  //
// is the name of the method (or method itself) which sets the field.   //
// This facility is required in context popup menu, when the only       //
// information about how to toggle a field is a name of method which    //
// sets it.                                                             //
// This Object may be also used for toggling an integer variable,       //
// which may be important while building universal objects...           //
// When user provides a "set-method" of name SetXXX this object tries   //
// automaticaly to find a matching "get-method" by looking for a method //
// with name GetXXX or IsXXX for given object.                          //
//                                                                      //
