  //##Documentation
  //## @brief Represents a pair of operations: undo and the according redo.
  //##
  //## Additionally to the base class UndoStackItem, which only provides a description of an
  //## item, OperationEvent does the actual accounting of the undo/redo stack. This class
  //## holds two Operation objects (operation and its inverse operation) and the corresponding
  //## OperationActor. The operations may be swapped by the
  //## undo models, when an OperationEvent is moved from their undo to their redo
  //## stack or vice versa.
  //##
  //## Note, that memory management of operation and undooperation is done by this class.
  //## Memory of both objects is freed in the destructor. For this, the method IsValid() is needed which holds
  //## information of the state of m_Destination. In case the object referenced by m_Destination is already deleted,
  //## isValid() returns false.
  //## In more detail if the destination happens to be an itk::Object (often the case), OperationEvent is informed as
  //soon
  //## as the object is deleted - from this moment on the OperationEvent gets invalid. You should
  //## check this flag before you call anything on destination
