Class protocol:

queries
o  isAbstract
Return if this class is an abstract class.
True is returned here for myself only; false for subclasses.
Abstract subclasses must redefine this again.


Instance protocol:

accessing-mvc
o  fetchModel
fetches the hierachicalList model by walking along the parent chain
up to an item which already knows its model.
This is a slightly less stupid implementation than the iinherited one

o  model
returns the hierachicalList model; fetches it if not yet known
This fixes the stupid implementation of the old HierarchicalItem,
by caching the fetched model (behaving the same, if there is no model)

o  model: aHierarchicalList
sets the hierachicalList model or nil.
If never set, the old (stupid) code which walks along the parent chain
will fetch the model o the fly.
By setting it explicitly, when the item is created, this is avoided.

o  modelOrNil
returns the hierachicalList model or nil.
Does NOT fetch the model if nil
