 * Unlike <code>ILabelProvider</code>, this allows the text and image to be
 * set in the same request, rather than via separate requests.  
 * <p>
 * It also allows the current values for the text and image to be considered by 
 * the label provider, allowing for potential optimizations.

 * applying an update to a previously populated label until the decoration is ready,
 * thereby reducing flicker.
