public interface StatusProvider

The StatusProvider interface is the means by which an object may supply custom StatusBar cells for use within a shared StatusBar instance. The typical usage would be for an implentation of View to additionally implement StatusProvider such that its custom cells would appear in the StatusBar of the MainWindow whenever that View itself was the active View.
