The PlaceHolder is actually a class derived from DockPanel, the class that all
panels hosted in the DockModel derive from. The idea behind
the DockPanelPlaceHolder is to give the developer the ability to
"reserve" areas in the docking surface.During the life of the application the
placeholder can be replaced by other panels. A typical use for the
DockPanelPlaceholder is when the DockPanelDocument class has the
KeepPlaceOnClose property set to true. In this case, when the user closes
the last open document window, the document panel is immediately replaced by a
DockPanelPlaceholder.
