<p>The base protocol for ASLayoutElement. Generally the methods/properties in this class do not need to be
called by the end user and are only called internally. However, there may be a case where the methods are useful.</p>

<p>This method can be used to give the user a chance to wrap an ASLayoutElement in an ASLayoutSpec
just before it is added to a parent ASLayoutSpec. For example, if you wanted an ASTextNode that was always
inside of an ASInsetLayoutSpec, you could subclass ASTextNode and implement finalLayoutElement so that it wraps
itself in an inset spec.</p>
<p>Note that any ASLayoutElement other than self that is returned MUST set isFinalLayoutElement to YES. Make sure
to do this BEFORE adding a child to the ASLayoutElement.</p>
