Creates a copy of this instance with the same UID and some extra params.

Subclasses should implement this method and set the return type properly.

extractParamMap
with no extra values.
Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values less than user-supplied values less than extra.
Optionally returns the user-supplied value of a param.
Gets the default value of a parameter.
Gets the value of a param in the embedded param map or its default value.
Gets the value of a param in the embedded param map or its default value. Throws an exception if neither is set.
Gets a param by its name.
Tests whether the input param has a default value set.
Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given name.
Checks whether a param is explicitly set or has a default value.
Checks whether a param is explicitly set.
Returns all params sorted by their names.
Returns all params sorted by their names. The default implementation uses Java reflection to list all public methods that have no arguments and return Param.
Developer should not use this method in constructor because we cannot guarantee that this variable gets initialized before other params.
Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.
Trait for components that take parameters. This also provides an internal param map to store parameter values attached to the instance.
