# :title: Registry: Persistent storage interface and factory
# 
# This class provides persistent storage for plugins via a hash interface.
# The default mode is an object store, so you can store ruby objects and
# reference them with hash keys. This is because the default store/restore
# methods of the plugins' RegistryAccessor are calls to Marshal.dump and
# Marshal.restore,
# for example:
#   blah = Hash.new
#   blah[:foo] = "fum"
#   @registry[:blah] = blah
# then, even after the bot is shut down and disconnected, on the next run you
# can access the blah object as it was, with:
#   blah = @registry[:blah]
# The registry can of course be used to store simple strings, fixnums, etc as
# well, and should be useful to store or cache plugin data or dynamic plugin
# configuration.
#
# WARNING:
# in object store mode, don't make the mistake of treating it like a live
# object, e.g. (using the example above)
#   @registry[:blah][:foo] = "flump"
# will NOT modify the object in the registry - remember that Registry#[]
# returns a Marshal.restore'd object, the object you just modified in place
# will disappear. You would need to:
#   blah = @registry[:blah]
#   blah[:foo] = "flump"
#   @registry[:blah] = blah
#
# If you don't need to store objects, and strictly want a persistant hash of
# strings, you can override the store/restore methods to suit your needs, for
# example (in your plugin):
#   def initialize
#     class << @registry
#       def store(val)
#         val
#       end
#       def restore(val)
#         val
#       end
#     end
#   end
# Your plugins section of the registry is private, it has its own namespace
# (derived from the plugin's class name, so change it and lose your data).
# Calls to registry.each etc, will only iterate over your namespace.
