//! Declares the interface for a view controller to forward its top and
//! bottom layout guide heights to an orientation-specific view which adopts
//! this protocol.
//!
//! Technically a part of the view controller, views defined in a storyboard
//! scene can relate constraints to the top layout guide and bottom layout
//! guide of that scene's view controller.  Views defined in a xib have no
//! such feature available to them.
//!
//! We work around this limitation in four parts:
//!     1) PortraitView.xib and LandscapeView.xib both have two extra
//!        subviews: 'Top Layout Guide' and 'Bottom Layout Guide'.  Both of them
//!        are hidden but constraints can still relate to them.
//!     2) PortraitView and LandscapeView define an IBOutlets that are wired to
//!        a height constraints on the 'Top Layout Guide' and
//!        'Bottom Layout Guide' views.
//!     3) PortraitView and Landscape view both adopt this protocol and forward
//!        changes to the two properties declared within it to the constant
//!        of the height constraint of the 'Top Layout Guide' or
//!        'Bottom layout Guide'.
//!     4) In -viewWillLayoutSubviews, ViewController passes the current values
//!        of its topLayoutGuide and bottomLayoutGuide to PortraitView and
//!        LandscapeView via the interface declared by this protocol.
