+/**
+ * Interface for the persistence layer of LocalisationCache.
+ *
+ * The persistence layer is two-level hierarchical cache. The first level
+ * is the language, the second level is the item or subitem.
+ *
+ * Since the data for a whole language is rebuilt in one operation, it needs
+ * to have a fast and atomic method for deleting or replacing all of the
+ * current data for a given language. The interface reflects this bulk update
+ * operation. Callers writing to the cache must first call startWrite(), then
+ * will call set() a couple of thousand times, then will call finishWrite()
+ * to commit the operation. When finishWrite() is called, the cache is
+ * expected to delete all data previously stored for that language.
+ *
+ * The values stored are PHP variables suitable for serialize(). Implementations
+ * of LCStore are responsible for serializing and unserializing.
