Problem description
===================
The spec for the designated 4 methods does not say about the
expected behaviour in cases:

1. addPropertyChangeListener(String name,
                                      PropertyChangeListener pcl)
   if name == null;

2. addPropertyChangeListener(String name,
                                      PropertyChangeListener pcl)
   if pcl == null;

3. addPropertyChangeListener(String name,
                                      PropertyChangeListener pcl)
  if pcl has already been added;

4. public void removePropertyChangeListener(String name,
                                         PropertyChangeListener pcl)
  if name == null;

5. public void removePropertyChangeListener(String name,
                                         PropertyChangeListener pcl)
  if pcl == null;

6. public void removePropertyChangeListener(String name,
                                         PropertyChangeListener pcl)
  if there is no such listener as pcl;

7. public void removePropertyChangeListener(String name,
                                         PropertyChangeListener pcl)
  if pcl has been added regarding another property name;

8. The same 7 points about add/removeVetoableChangeListener methods
