/**
 * PseudoClass represents one unique pseudo-class state. Introducing a
 * pseudo-class into a JavaFX class only requires that the method
 * {@link javafx.scene.Node#pseudoClassStateChanged(javafx.css.PseudoClass, boolean)}
 * be called when the pseudo-class state changes. Typically, the
 * {@code pseudoClassStateChanged} method is called from the
 * {@code protected void invalidated()} method of one of the property base
 * classes in the {@code javafx.beans.property} package.
 * <p>
 * Note that if a node has a default pseudo-class state, a horizontal orientation
 * for example, {@code pseudoClassStateChanged} should be called from the
 * constructor to set the initial state.
 * <p>
 * The following example would allow &quot;xyzzy&quot; to be used as a
 *  pseudo-class in a CSS selector.
 * <code>
 * <pre>
 *  public boolean isMagic() {
 *       return magic.get();
 *   }
 *
 *   public BooleanProperty magicProperty() {
 *       return magic;
 *   }
