Interface Storable
Interface for improved storage support. Storable instances implement
data encoder and decoder methods to enable compact data storage, primarily
used with Core Storage.
The Storable interface can be used similar to the PHP serialisation
system but does not use a generic serialisation format. Instead classes
that implement this interface provide their own space-efficient and
high performance data storage using an arbitrary storage format.
