/**
 * InterfacedBase is the base class of all Interfaced objects to be
 * handled by the BaseRepository class. InterfacedBase
 * objects can be manipulated through objects of the InterfaceBase
 * class dealing with setting parameters, switches and pointers to
 * other InterfacedBase objects.
 *
 * The InterfacedBase has a number of virtual methods to be
 * implemented by sub classes for checking the state of the object,
 * initializing the object etc.
 *
 * The InterfacedBase is derived from the PersistentBase class to
 * allow for persistent I/O, and from the Named for handling the name
 * of the object. The full name of the object is of the form
 * <code>/dir/subdir/name</code> analogous to the file name in a Unix
 * file system.
 *
 * It is possible to lock an InterfacedBase object in which case the
 * BaseRepository will not do anything that will change the state of
 * this object.
