/**
 * @class Ext.state.Provider
 * Abstract base class for state provider implementations. The provider is responsible
 * for setting values  and extracting values to/from the underlying storage source. The 
 * storage source can vary and the details should be implemented in a subclass. For example
 * a provider could use a server side database or the browser localstorage where supported. 
 * This class provides methods for encoding and decoding typed variables including 
 * dates and defines the Provider interface. By default these methods put the value and the
 * type information into a delimited string that can be stored. These should be overridden in 
 * a subclass if you want to change the format of the encoded value and subsequent decoding.
