Remarks

This kind of controls are used to represent and/or edit the values of various types, but not in the usual OnGUI approach. The usual Unity approach assumes that the value is passed and returned in each rendering call. However, for the hermetic control, the source of the value is defined only once, at the creation time. Once it's done, the rendering is only called to have the logic handled. That said, the caller rendering method doesn't care about the underlying data, and that's why it's "hermetic".

The value source is either a field or a property of the class. Due to the need of using reflections to access the member, these controls are not performance optimized. They are fine for the debugging and settings dialogs, but for the performance demanding applications a regular Unity approach is suggested.
