Value

An object that can hold any value.

This is a simple generic container class that wraps a single value of any type. It's useful when you need a mutable reference to a value, particularly in contexts where you want to pass a value by reference rather than by value.

Common use cases:

• Sharing mutable state between closures
• Returning multiple values from a function (using multiple Value objects)
• Creating observable values when combined with event systems
• Wrapping primitive types to make them nullable

Example usage:

// Basic usage
var counter = new Value<Int>(0);
counter.value++;
trace(counter.value); // 1

// Sharing state between functions
var shared = new Value<String>("Hello");
function updateValue() {
    shared.value = "World";
}
updateValue();
trace(shared.value); // "World"

// As a nullable wrapper
var maybeNumber = new Value<Float>();
if (someCondition) {
    maybeNumber.value = 42.0;
}
