  // Compare to PropertyStore, which enables a class to (selectively)
  // expose its instance members as properties accessible via
  // RPC. (RPC support for ProperyStore is implemented in a
  // protocol-specific adaptor. e.g. dbus_adpator.)
  //
  // Implemented separately from PropertyStore, to avoid complicating
  // the PropertyStore interface. In particular, objects implementing the
  // PropertyStore interface always provide the storage themselves. In
  // contrast, users of KeyValueStore expect KeyValueStore to provide
  // storage.
