22  * call #supportsManagedUpdate to determine if it should handle and refresh
23  * upon a debug event.
24  *
25  * If the client wants to manage its own update, it would return true when
26  * #supportsManagedUpdate is called. The rendering will not get refreshed
27  * upon any debug events. Instead, the rendering will update when
28  * <code>IMemoryBlockConnection.update</code> is called.
