This tracks both model work and figuring out what this means in the UI.

This work is now completed. There is quite a bit to discuss here, but I am not going to replicate the content from the doc. Information about the new features and migration details can be found at these location in sapphire docs:

org.eclipse.sapphire.doc/html/releases/0.2/index.html#element
org.eclipse.sapphire.doc/html/releases/0.2/migration.html#element

I have only implemented the radio button group UI style for managing the element for heterogeneous case. A "None" radio button tracks the case where the element is not present and is also the way for the user to delete an existing element. 

The feature can be viewed in the contacts sample. Look for Primary Occupation node in the content outline under the contact node.

There are more UI possibilities here... using combo box instead of radio buttons, optionally presenting a label in front of selectors, customizing the "None" label, etc. I will leave those for the future to be raised as enhancements as they are necessary.

Verified with gallery-sample's heterogeneous list.
