<p>
A root storage is created by <type>StorageFactory</type>
and is controlled by refcounting. In case refcounting
is decreased to zero the storage will be disposed
automatically. It is still strongly recommended that
a root storage is disposed explicitly since in garbage
collector based languages the refcounting can be
decreased too late and resources locked by the storage
will not be freed until then.
</p>
<p>
A substorage is created by <type>XStorage</type>
interface of storage. Each time a substorage is opened
it is locked ( in case it is opened in readonly mode
it is locked for writing, in case it is opened in
read-write mode it is locked for reading and writing )
until it is disposed. The lifetime of substorage is
also controlled by refcounting but because of mentioned
garbage collection specific it is strongly recommended
to dispose substorages explicitly.
</p>
<p>
In case a storage object is disposed all the elements
( substorages and substreams ) retrieved from the
object are disposed. If the storage was opened in
read-write mode all noncommited changes will be lost.

common storage password should be set through

this storage or to a one of storages in parent
hierarchy. In case the password is not set or is a
wrong one an exception will be thrown.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><method>XStorage::openEncryptedStreamElement</method></dt>
<dd>
This method allows to specify reading password for the
stream explicitly. The password will be used to read
the stream. It is possible to specify a new password
for stream storing through
<type>XEncryptionProtectedSource</type> interface. In
case a new password is not specified an old one will
be used for storing.

A storage flashes on commit all the child streams it
owns. So in case after the stream is changed neither
the storage was commited nor the stream was flushed
explicitly, the changes will not appear in the new
created stream. This method allows to retrieve copy of
a child stream even in case it is already opened for
writing.
