 * @abstract This is an abstract class, and is not represented by an actual

 * classes  without knowing the name of the class ahead of time in PHP 4. Note
 * that this does not meet E_STRICT compliance in PHP 5, but is the only sane
 * way to achieve consistency between the PHP 4 and 5 inheritence models.
