ListGroupPrefixSuffix class | lister.t[2178]

List Group implementation: simple prefix/suffix lister. Shows a prefix message, then shows the list, then shows a suffix message.

Note that this is a ListGroupSorted subclass. If our subclass defines a compareGroupItems() method, we'll show the list in the order specified by compareGroupItems().

Properties

`groupPrefix` | `lister.t[2216]`

The prefix and suffix messages. The showGroupPrefix and showGroupSuffix methods simply show these message properties. We go through this two-step procedure for convenience: if the subclass doesn't need the POV and list parameters, it's less typing to just override these parameterless properties. If the subclass needs to vary the message according to the POV or what's in the list, it can override the showGroupXxx methods instead.
