/**
 * @class vtkSMSettingsProxy
 * @brief proxy subclass responsible for linking settings
 * proxies and settings classes on the VTK side.
 *
 * Settings proxies are session specific singleton proxies designed to track
 * configuration options. Typically, properties on such settings proxies are
 * linked to other proxies in the session so that changing a setting property
 * will result in changing all linked proxies.
 *
 * Settings proxies have several unique traits when compared with other
 * properties:
 *
 * *  In `ReadXMLAttributes`, if for a property an `information_property`
 *    attribute is specified i.e. `vtkSMProperty::GetInformationProperty` is
 *    not null, then a link is setup between that information property and the
 *    original property so that if the information property is modified, the
 *    original property is updated accordingly.
 *
 * `vtkSMSettingsProxy::ProcessPropertyLinks` is called during proxy
 * initialization (vtkSMParaViewPipelineController::PreInitializeProxy) to setup
 * links between the proxy being initialized any of the settings proxies for
 * that session. This is done by processing property hints on the proxy being
 * initialized.
 *
 * @section SettingsAndStateFiles SettingsProxies and state files
 *
 * By default, settings proxies are not saved in the XML state files by
 * `vtkSMSessionProxyManager::SaveXMLState`. This is so since settings proxies
 * are often used for application settings to preserve across sessions rather
 * than visualization state. However, there are exceptions. For example, color
 * palettes which are handled using a settings proxy are part of the
 * visualization state and hence should be saved in the XML state. For such
 * settings proxies, one can add the `serializable="1"` attribute in the proxy
 * definition XML.
 *
 * @code{xml}
 *   <SettingsProxy name="ColorPalette" label="Color Palette" serializable="1">
 *   ...
 *   </SettingsProxy>
 * @endcode
 *
 * All settings proxies with this attribute will be saved in the XML state
 * files.
