     *
     * BaseCore also handles the chaining of initializer and destructor methods across

     * configured through the static <a href="#property_BaseCore.ATTRS">ATTRS</a>
     * property for each class in the hierarchy will be initialized by BaseCore.

     * Classes which require attribute support, but don't intend to use/expose attribute
     * change events can extend BaseCore instead of Base for optimal kweight and
     * runtime performance.

     * **3.11.0 BACK COMPAT NOTE FOR COMPONENT DEVELOPERS**
     *
     * Prior to version 3.11.0, ATTRS would get added a class at a time. That is:
     *
     * <pre>
     *    for each (class in the hierarchy) {
     *       Call the class Extension constructors.
     *
     *       Add the class ATTRS.
     *
     *       Call the class initializer
     *       Call the class Extension initializers.
     *    }
     * </pre>
     *
     * As of 3.11.0, ATTRS from all classes in the hierarchy are added in one `addAttrs` call
     * before **any** initializers are called. That is, the flow becomes:
     *
     * <pre>
     *    for each (class in the hierarchy) {
     *       Call the class Extension constructors.
     *    }
     *
     *    Add ATTRS for all classes
     *
     *    for each (class in the hierarchy) {
     *       Call the class initializer.
     *       Call the class Extension initializers.
     *    }
     * </pre>
     *
     * Adding all ATTRS at once fixes subtle edge-case issues with subclass ATTRS overriding
     * superclass `setter`, `getter` or `valueFn` definitions and being unable to get/set attributes
     * defined by the subclass. It also leaves us with a cleaner order of operation flow moving
     * forward.
     *
     * However, it may require component developers to upgrade their components, for the following
     * scenarios:
     *
     * 1. It impacts components which may have `setter`, `getter` or `valueFn` code which
     * expects a superclass' initializer to have run.
     *
     * This is expected to be rare, but to support it, Base now supports a `_preAddAttrs()`, method
     * hook (same signature as `addAttrs`). Components can implement this method on their prototype
     * for edge cases which do require finer control over the order in which attributes are added
     * (see widget-htmlparser for example).
     *
     * 2. Extension developers may need to move code from Extension constructors to `initializer`s
     *
     * Older extensions, which were written before `initializer` support was added, had a lot of
     * initialization code in their constructors. For example, code which acccessed superclass
     * attributes. With the new flow this code would not be able to see attributes. The recommendation
     * is to move this initialization code to an `initializer` on the Extension, which was the
     * recommendation for anything created after `initializer` support for Extensions was added.
