* Interface for a <code>IStorage</code> input to an editor.

* are dependent on this to find an editor with the same input.

* Clients should implement this interface to declare new types of

* </p><p>
* File-oriented editors should support this as a valid input type, and display
* its content for viewing (but not allow modification).
* Within the editor, the "save" and "save as" operations should create a new
