+/**
+ * An abstract wrapper class for an {@code EventListener} class
+ * which associates a set of additional parameters with the listener.
+ * Subclasses must provide the storage and accessor methods
+ * for the additional arguments or parameters.
+ * <p>
+ * For example, a bean which supports named properties
+ * would have a two argument method signature for adding
+ * a {@code PropertyChangeListener} for a property:
+ * <pre>
+ * public void addPropertyChangeListener(String propertyName,
+ *                                       PropertyChangeListener listener)
+ * </pre>
+ * If the bean also implemented the zero argument get listener method:
+ * <pre>
+ * public PropertyChangeListener[] getPropertyChangeListeners()
+ * </pre>
+ * then the array may contain inner {@code PropertyChangeListeners}
+ * which are also {@code PropertyChangeListenerProxy} objects.
+ * <p>
+ * If the calling method is interested in retrieving the named property
+ * then it would have to test the element to see if it is a proxy class.
+ *
+ * @since 1.4
