/**
 * Wraps any SimpleTag and exposes it using a Tag interface. This is used to allow collaboration between classic Tag
 * handlers and SimpleTag handlers.
 * <p>
 * Because SimpleTag does not extend Tag, and because Tag.setParent() only accepts a Tag instance, a classic tag handler
 * (one that implements Tag) cannot have a SimpleTag as its parent. To remedy this, a TagAdapter is created to wrap the
 * SimpleTag parent, and the adapter is passed to setParent() instead. A classic Tag Handler can call getAdaptee() to
 * retrieve the encapsulated SimpleTag instance.
