 * Behavior is the base class for all behavior classes.

 * In particular, it can "inject" its own methods and properties into the component
 * and make them directly accessible via the component.
 *
 * @property Component $owner The owner component that this behavior is attached to.

	 *
	 * Child classes may override this method to declare what PHP callbacks should
	 * be attached to the events of the [[owner]] component.

	 * The callbacks will be attached to the [[owner]]'s events when the behavior is
	 * attached to the owner; and they will be detached from the events when
	 * the behavior is detached from the component.
	 *
	 * The callbacks can be any of the followings:
	 *
	 * - method in this behavior: `'handleClick'`, equivalent to `array($this, 'handleClick')`
	 * - object method: `array($object, 'handleClick')`
	 * - static method: `array('Page', 'handleClick')`
	 * - anonymous function: `function($event) { ... }`
	 *

	 *
	 * ~~~
	 * array(
	 *	 'beforeValidate' => 'myBeforeValidate',
	 *	 'afterValidate' => 'myAfterValidate',
	 * )
	 * ~~~
