/**
* An <code>Encoder</code> is a class which can be used to create
* files or streams that encode the state of a collection of
* JavaBeans in terms of their public APIs. The <code>Encoder</code>,
* in conjunction with its persistence delegates, is responsible for
! * breaking the object graph down into a series of <code>Statements</code>s
* and <code>Expression</code>s which can be used to create it.
* A subclass typically provides a syntax for these expressions
* using some human readable form - like Java source code or XML.
