/**
 * <h2>Purpose</h2>:
 * An IndirectionPolicy acts as a 'rules' holder that determines
 * the behavior of a ForeignReferenceMapping (or TransformationMapping)
 * with respect to indirection, or lack thereof.
 * <p>
 * <h3>Description</h3>:
 * IndirectionPolicy is an abstract class that defines the protocol to be implemented by
 * subclasses so that the assorted DatabaseMappings can use an assortment of
 * indirection policies:<ul>
 * <li> no indirection policy (read everything from database)
 * <li> basic indirection policy (use ValueHolders)
 * <li> transparent indirection policy (collections only)
 * <li> proxy indirection policy (transparent 1:1 indirection using JDK 1.3's <CODE>Proxy</CODE>)
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>
 * <h3>Responsibilities</h3>:
 *     <ul>
 *     <li>instantiate the various IndirectionPolicies
 *     </ul>
 * <p>
 *
 * @see ForeignReferenceMapping
