/**
 * Represents a particular piece of track, more informally a "Block".
 * <p>
 * A Block (at least in this implementation) corresponds exactly to the track
 * covered by at most one sensor. That could be generalized in the future.
 * <p>
 * As trains move around the layout, a set of Block objects that are attached to
 * sensors can interact to keep track of which train is where, going in which
 * direction.
 * As a result of this, the set of Block objects pass around "token"
 * (value) Objects representing the trains.
 * This could be e.g. a Throttle to control the train, or something else.
 * <p>
 * A block maintains a "direction" flag that is set from the direction of the
 * incoming train.
 * When an arriving train is detected via the connected sensor
 * and the Block's status information is sufficient to determine that it is
 * arriving via a particular Path, that Path's getFromBlockDirection
 * becomes the direction of the train in this Block.
 * <p>
 * Optionally, a Block can be associated with a Reporter.
 * In this case, the Reporter will provide the Block with the "token" (value).
 * This could be e.g an RFID reader reading an ID tag attached to a locomotive.
 * Depending on the specific Reporter implementation,
 * either the current reported value or the last reported value will be relevant,
 * this can be configured.
 * <p>
 * Objects of this class are Named Beans, so can be manipulated through tables,
 * have listeners, etc.
 * <p>
 * The type letter used in the System Name is 'B' for 'Block'.
 * The default implementation is not system-specific, so a system letter
 * of 'I' is appropriate. This leads to system names like "IB201".
 * <p>
 * Issues:
 * <ul>
 * <li>The tracking doesn't handle a train pulling in behind another well:
 * <ul>
 * <li>When the 2nd train arrives, the Sensor is already active, so the value is
 * unchanged (but the value can only be a single object anyway)
 * <li>When the 1st train leaves, the Sensor stays active, so the value remains
 * that of the 1st train
 * </ul>
 * <li> The assumption is that a train will only go through a set turnout.
 * For example, a train could come into the turnout block from the main even if the
 * turnout is set to the siding. (Ignoring those layouts where this would cause
 * a short; it doesn't do so on all layouts)
 * <li> Does not handle closely-following trains where there is only one
 * electrical block per signal.
 * To do this, it probably needs some type of "assume a train doesn't back up" logic.
 * A better solution is to have multiple
 * sensors and Block objects between each signal head.
 * <li> If a train reverses in a block and goes back the way it came
 * (e.g. b1 to b2 to b1),
 * the block that's re-entered will get an updated direction,
 * but the direction of this block (b2 in the example) is not updated.
 * In other words,
 * we're not noticing that the train must have reversed to go back out.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Do not assume that a Block object uniquely represents a piece of track.
 * To allow independent development, it must be possible for multiple Block objects
 * to take care of a particular section of track.
 * <p>
 * Possible state values:
 * <ul>
 * <li>UNKNOWN - The sensor shows UNKNOWN, so this block doesn't know if it's
 * occupied or not.
 * <li>INCONSISTENT - The sensor shows INCONSISTENT, so this block doesn't know
 * if it's occupied or not.
 * <li>OCCUPIED - This sensor went active. Note that OCCUPIED will be set even
 * if the logic is unable to figure out which value to take.
 * <li>UNOCCUPIED - No content, because the sensor has determined this block is
 * unoccupied.
 * <li>UNDETECTED - No sensor configured.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Possible Curvature attributes (optional)
 * User can set the curvature if desired for use in automatic running of trains,
 * to indicate where slow down is required.
 * <ul>
 * <li>NONE - No curvature in Block track, or Not entered.
 * <li>GRADUAL - Gradual curve - no action by engineer is warranted - full speed
 * OK
 * <li>TIGHT - Tight curve in Block track - Train should slow down some
 * <li>SEVERE - Severe curve in Block track - Train should slow down a lot
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * The length of the block may also optionally be entered if desired.
 * This attribute is for use in automatic running of trains.
 * Length should be the actual length of model railroad track in the block.
 * It is always stored here in millimeter units.
 * A length of 0.0 indicates no entry of length by the user.
