There are two data store tutorials; both need help.
- abstractdatastore (this is first datatore tutorial; it has more content;
but I need to be sure the code compiles). I will finish dragging the text
over this evening.
- contentdatastore this is the replacement which has a cleaner code base;
but is read-only. I think some more work is needed before we can do a good
read/write support based on it. By clean - it has way less methods and
classes - and is more configuration rather than subclass magic methods.
