/**
 * A class containing a {@link ListCell} implementation that draws a
 * {@link CheckBox} node inside the cell, optionally with a label to indicate
 * what the checkbox represents.
 *
 * <p>The CheckBoxListCell is rendered with a CheckBox on the left-hand side of
 * the {@link ListView}, and the text related to the list item taking up all
 * remaining horizontal space.
 *
 * <p>To construct an instance of this class, it is necessary to provide a
 * {@link Callback} that, given an object of type T, will return a
 * {@code ObservableValue<Boolean>} that represents whether the given item is
 * selected or not. This ObservableValue will be bound bidirectionally (meaning
 * that the CheckBox in the cell will set/unset this property based on user
 * interactions, and the CheckBox will reflect the state of the
 * {@code ObservableValue<Boolean>}, if it changes externally).
 *
 * <p>Note that the CheckBoxListCell renders the CheckBox 'live', meaning that
 * the CheckBox is always interactive and can be directly toggled by the user.
 * This means that it is not necessary that the cell enter its
 * {@link #editingProperty() editing state} (usually by the user double-clicking
 * on the cell). A side-effect of this is that the usual editing callbacks
 * (such as {@link javafx.scene.control.ListView#onEditCommitProperty() on edit commit})
 * will <strong>not</strong> be called. If you want to be notified of changes,
 * it is recommended to directly observe the boolean properties that are
 * manipulated by the CheckBox.</p>
 *
 * @see CheckBox
 * @see ListCell
 * @param <T> The type of the elements contained within the ListView.
