+Accessor Functions
+------------------
+    For convenience, each class derived from MaskedEditMixin should
+    define an accessors mixin, so that it exposes only those parameters
+    that make sense for the derivation.  This is done with an intermediate
+    level of inheritance, ie:
+
+    class BaseMaskedTextCtrl( TextCtrl, MaskedEditMixin ):
+
+    class MaskedTextCtrl( BaseMaskedTextCtrl, MaskedEditAccessorsMixin ):
+    class MaskedNumCtrl( BaseMaskedTextCtrl, MaskedNumCtrlAccessorsMixin ):
+    class IpAddrCtrl( BaseMaskedTextCtrl, IpAddrCtrlAccessorsMixin ):
+    class TimeCtrl( BaseMaskedTextCtrl, TimeCtrlAccessorsMixin ):
+
+    etc.
+
+    Each accessors mixin defines Get/Set functions for the base class parameters
+    that are appropriate for that derivation.
+    This allows the base classes to be "more generic," exposing the widest
+    set of options, while not requiring derived classes to be so general.

 ## CHANGELOG:
 ## ====================
 
 ## CHANGELOG:
 ## ====================

+##  Version 1.5
+##  (Reported) bugs fixed:
+##   1. Crash ensues if you attempt to change the mask of a read-only
+##      MaskedComboBox after initial construction.
+##   2. Changed strategy of defining Get/Set property functions so that
+##      these are now generated dynamically at runtime, rather than as
+##      part of the class definition.  (This makes it possible to have
+##      more general base classes that have many more options for configuration
+##      without requiring that derivations support the same options.)
+##   3. Fixed IsModified for _Paste() and _OnErase().
+##
+##   Enhancements:
+##   1. Fixed "attribute function inheritance," since base control is more
+##      generic than subsequent derivations, not all property functions of a
+##      generic control should be exposed in those derivations.  New strategy
+##      uses base control classes (eg. BaseMaskedTextCtrl) that should be
+##      used to derive new class types, and mixed with their own mixins to
+##      only expose those attributes from the generic masked controls that
+##      make sense for the derivation.  (This makes Boa happier.)
+##   2. Renamed (with b-c) MILTIME autoformats to 24HRTIME, so as to be less
+##      "parochial."
+##

 ##  Version 1.4
 ##  (Reported) bugs fixed:
 ##   1. Right-click menu allowed "cut" operation that destroyed mask
