/**
 * AtkHyperlinkImpl allows AtkObjects to refer to their associated
 * AtkHyperlink instance, if one exists.  AtkHyperlinkImpl differs
 * from AtkHyperlink in that AtkHyperlinkImpl is an interface, whereas
 * AtkHyperlink is a object type.  The AtkHyperlinkImpl interface
 * allows a client to query an AtkObject for the availability of an
 * associated AtkHyperlink instance, and obtain that instance.  It is
 * thus particularly useful in cases where embedded content or inline
 * content within a text object is present, since the embedding text
 * object implements AtkHypertext and the inline/embedded objects are
 * exposed as children which implement AtkHyperlinkImpl, in addition
 * to their being obtainable via AtkHypertext:getLink followed by
 * AtkHyperlink:getObject.
 * 
 * The AtkHyperlinkImpl interface should be supported by objects
 * exposed within the hierarchy as children of an AtkHypertext
 * container which correspond to "links" or embedded content within
 * the text.  HTML anchors are not, for instance, normally exposed
 * this way, but embedded images and components which appear inline in
 * the content of a text object are. The AtkHyperlinkIface interface
 * allows a means of determining which children are hyperlinks in this
 * sense of the word, and for obtaining their corresponding
 * AtkHyperlink object, from which the embedding range, URI, etc. can
 * be obtained.
 * 
 * To some extent this interface exists because, for historical
 * reasons, AtkHyperlink was defined as an object type, not an
 * interface.  Thus, in order to interact with AtkObjects via
 * AtkHyperlink semantics, a new interface was required.
