    /**
     * @class Ext.data.Store
     * @extends Ext.util.Observable
     * The Store class encapsulates a client side cache of {@link Ext.data.Record Record}
     * objects which provide input data for Components such as the {@link Ext.grid.GridPanel GridPanel},
     * the {@link Ext.form.ComboBox ComboBox}, or the {@link Ext.DataView DataView}.
     * Retrieving Data
     * A Store object may access a data object using:
     * {@link #proxy configured implementation} of {@link Ext.data.DataProxy DataProxy}
     * {@link #data} to automatically pass in data
     * {@link #loadData} to manually pass in data
     *
     * Reading Data
     * A Store object has no inherent knowledge of the format of the data object (it could be
     * an Array, XML, or JSON). A Store object uses an appropriate {@link #reader configured implementation}
     * of a {@link Ext.data.DataReader DataReader} to create {@link Ext.data.Record Record} instances from the data
     * object.
     * Store Types
     * There are several implementations of Store available which are customized for use with
     * a specific DataReader implementation.  Here is an example using an ArrayStore which implicitly
     * creates a reader commensurate to an Array data object.
     *
    var myStore = new Ext.data.ArrayStore({
        fields: ['fullname', 'first'],
        idIndex: 0 // id for each record will be the first element
    });
     *
     * For custom implementations create a basic {@link Ext.data.Store} configured as needed:
     *
    // create a {@link Ext.data.Record Record} constructor:
    var rt = Ext.data.Record.create([
        {name: 'fullname'},
        {name: 'first'}
    ]);
    var myStore = new Ext.data.Store({
        // explicitly create reader
        reader: new Ext.data.ArrayReader(
            {
                idIndex: 0  // id for each record will be the first element
            },
            rt // recordType
        )
    });
     *
     * Load some data into store (note the data object is an array which corresponds to the reader):
     *
    var myData = [
        [1, 'Fred Flintstone', 'Fred'],  // note that id for the record is the first element
        [2, 'Barney Rubble', 'Barney']
    ];
    myStore.loadData(myData);
     *
     * Records are cached and made available through accessor functions.  An example of adding
     * a record to the store:
     *
    var defaultData = {
        fullname: 'Full Name',
        first: 'First Name'
    };
    var recId = 100; // provide unique id for the record
    var r = new myStore.recordType(defaultData, ++recId); // create new record
    myStore.{@link #insert}(0, r); // insert a new record into the store (also see {@link #add})
     *
     * Writing Data
     * And new in Ext version 3, use the new {@link Ext.data.DataWriter DataWriter} to create an automated, Writable Store
     * along with RESTful features.
     * @constructor
     * Creates a new Store.
     * @param {Object} config A config object containing the objects needed for the Store to access data,
     * and read the data into Records.
     * @xtype store
