/*
 * ChangeManager will call subsumeChange: when we are the last 
 * completed change and a new change has just begun. We override
 * the subsumeChange: to offer our subclasses a chance to
 * consolidate multiple changes into a single change.
 * First we check to make sure that the new change is of the
 * same class as the last. If it is then we check to make sure
 * that it's operating on the same selection. If not we simply
 * return NO, declining to subsume it. If it does operate on
 * the same change then we offer our subclass a change to 
 * subsume it by sending [self subsumeIdenticalChange:change].
 *
 * For example, if the user presses the up arrow key to move
 * a graphic up one pixel, that immediately becomes a complete,
 * undoable change, as it should. If she continues to press
 * use the arrow keys we don't want to end up making hundreds
 * of independent move changes that would each have to be
 * undone seperately. So instead we have the first move
 * subsume all subsequent MoveGraphicsChanges that operate
 * on the same selection.
