 * Manager that can handle {@link Edit edits} for a {@link WorkflowBundle}.

 * Edits to a workflow that are to be undoable or redoable should be created by

 * this to create {@link Edit}s, instead of calling {@link Edit#doEdit()}, use
 * {@link EditManager#doDataflowEdit(WorkflowBundle, Edit)} to associate the
 * edit with the specified Dataflow.
 * <p>
 * It is possible to undo a series of edits done on a particular dataflow in
 * this way by using {@link #undoDataflowEdit(WorkflowBundle)}. If one or more
 * undoes have been performed, they can be redone step by step using

 * to call {@link #redoDataflowEdit(WorkflowBundle)} after a
 * {@link #doDataflowEdit(WorkflowBundle, Edit)}.
