/**
 * Default class implementing Key/Value coding.
 * 
 * This scheme allows powerfull introspection capabilities on such classes since they are handlable by basic accessors such as
 * objectForKey(String), setObjectForKey (Object,String) and integerValueForKey(String), setIntegerValueForKey(int,String) (defined for all
 * primitives: boolean, byte, char, double, float, integer, long, short). Key is a String identifying a key/value pair public methods such
 * as getKey()/setKey() or _getKey()/_setKey(). If no method is found, research on public field is done and performed.
 * 
 * This scheme could also be seen as a dynamic redefinition of java dynamic liaison scheme.
 * 
 * Additionnaly, 2 methods valueForKey(String) and setValueForKey (Object,String) could be used as wrapers allowing to handle primitives and
 * simple classes (such as Date, String, File and URL) with string representations. NB: Those simple classes that are easily serializable
 * from/to string must declare how they are coded in StringEncoder class.
