Encoder 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 Encoder,
* in conjunction with its persistence delegates, is responsible for
* breaking the object graph down into a series of {@code Statement}s
* and Expressions 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.
