/**
 * A base class for defining new tag handlers implementing Tag.
 * <p>
 * The TagSupport class is a utility class intended to be used as the base class for new tag handlers. The TagSupport
 * class implements the Tag and IterationTag interfaces and adds additional convenience methods including getter methods
 * for the properties in Tag. TagSupport has one static method that is included to facilitate coordination among
 * cooperating tags.
 * <p>
 * Many tag handlers will extend TagSupport and only redefine a few methods.

     * <p>
     * The current version of the specification only provides one formal way of indicating the observable type of a tag
     * handler: its tag handler implementation class, described in the tag-class subelement of the tag element. This is
     * extended in an informal manner by allowing the tag library author to indicate in the description subelement an
     * observable type. The type should be a subtype of the tag handler implementation class or void. This additional
     * constraint can be exploited by a specialized container that knows about that specific tag library, as in the case
     * of the JSP standard tag library.
     * <p>
     * When a tag library author provides information on the observable type of a tag handler, client programmatic code
     * should adhere to that constraint. Specifically, the Class passed to findAncestorWithClass should be a subtype of
     * the observable type.
