A ghost string slice displays what purports to be a string (or multistring) property of a missing object. The canonical example is if a LexSense does not have an example sentence. The ghost slice apparently shows the missing Example property of the nonexistent ExampleSentence. If the user types something, a real object is created. A ghost slice is created when a part displays an object or object sequence that is empty, if the 'obj' or 'seq' element has an attribute ghost="fieldname" and ghostWs="vernacular/analysis". Optionally it may also have ghostClass="className". If this is absent it will create an instance of the base signature class, which had better not be abstract.
