-/**
- * Referencing objects are shadows of real objects. Typically, shadows are
- * created to enable a GUI which does not allow the same real object to appear
- * multiple times. In these cases, a unique shadow object is created for each
- * unique instance of the real object.
- * <p>
- * The parent interface ISystemReferencingObject captures the simple set of
- * methods such a shadow must implement.
- * <p>
- * This interface specializes that for the case of references that must be
- * persisted. Typically, we build the references in memory at runtime just to
- * satisfy the GUI. However, occasionally we build the list of references for a
- * more permanent reason, such as when we let a user choose a subset from a
- * master list.
- * <p>
- * When we persist such a reference, we can't persist the memory reference to
- * the master object. Instead, we persist the unique name or key of that object,
- * and upon restoring from disk we then resolve that into a runtime reference to
- * a real memory object.
- * <p>
- * This interface captures the methods to set and query that name or key.
- *
- * @noimplement This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients. The
- * standard implementations are included in the framework.
- * @noextend This interface is not intended to be extended by clients.
