Regarding vetoing, I noticed that only the first registered listener can veto
since it overrides any subsequent value set.
Suppose listener A changes the value to 5, B changes it to 6, C changes it to
7, and Z does nothing, then upon setting a value from 0 to 1 we will see:
A sees 0->1; sets to 5
A sees 1->5
B sees 0->5; sets to 6
A sees 5->6; sets to 5
A sees 6->5
C got 0->5; sets to 7
A sees 5->7; sets to 5
A sees 7->5
Z sees 0->5
Is this intended?
