/** <p>The <code>ScanEngine</code> is the main class of the backend of the
* XML persistence algorithm. It scans {@link java.beans.Expression} and
* {@link java.beans.Statement} instances and some raw objects via the
* {@link #writeObject} method and feeds it to a state machine. The
* state machine then constructs and object tree which is finally
* written as XML by a {@link Writer} implementation.</p>
*
* <p>How does it work?</p>
* <p>The <code>ScanEngine</code> sits below the {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}
* class and is called by it exclusively. The <code>XMLEncoder</code> sends
* interpretive data by invoking {@link #writeExpression}, {@link #writeStatement}
* and {@link #writeObject}. The invocations of <code>writeExpression</code> and
* <code>writeStatement</code> are usually nested into each other and provide
* more information then necessary to generate the XML representation.
* Furthermore the meaning of certain <code>Expressions</code> differs
* depending on the enclosing elements or the inner elements have to be
* simply discarded.</p>
*
* <p>To cope with this state dependant nature the <code>ScanEngine</code>
* contains a state machine which is programmed statically (no adjustments are
* needed, all <code>ScanEngine</code> engines use the same setup). The
* <code>ScanEngine</code>'s job is to decode the <code>Expression</code>s,
* <code>Statement</code>s and certain objects (namely <code>String</code>,
* <code>null</code> objects and instances which are repeatedly provided to
* the encoder) into 13 low-level (event) methods, which denote the meaning of the
* argument. For example an <code>Expression</code> can be an array
* instantiation which provokes a call to {@link arrayInstantiation} or
* it can be a class resolution leading to a call to {@link #classResolution}.
* For the state machione the 13 methods are the distinct way to transit
* from one state to another. Whenever the <code>ScanEngine</code> calls
* one of the event methods the current's state successor for that event
* is fetched from the state machine configuration, the successpr becomes
* the current state and then the event method is called in the new current
* state. The last step allows the state instance to do something meaningful
* to the object tree.</p>
*
* <p>The state machine knows the concept of returning to the previous
* state. This is done using a stack of states which is popped every
* time a call to <code>writeStatement</code>, <code>writeExpression</code>
* in the <code>XMLEncoder</code> ends by calling the {@link #end} method.
* Note that due to the inheritance relationship of <code>Encoder</code>
* and <code>XMLEncoder</code> it is impossible for the
* <code>ScanEngine</code> itself to decide when an expression or statement
* ended. This can only be done in case of {@link #writeObject} calls because
* they are not nested.</p>
*
* <p>When the XML persistence mechanism reaches an object twice (and more)
* it should generate an XML element using the "idref" attribute and add
* an "id" attribute to its first instantiation. This complicates things a bit
* because the first instantiation will always be part of the object tree
* as some {@link gnu.java.beans.encoder.elements.Element} subclass instance when the
* second and further objects accesses are written. Therefore the {@link ObjectId}
* class was introduced which is shared between all the object tree elements
* and has the notion of an "unused" state meaning that no identification
* is needed. The relationship between an object and its <code>ObjectId</code>
* instance is stored in the <code>ScanEngine</code> and gets cleared whenever
* the {@link #flush} method is called. This method also writes the currently
* built object tree and generates the XML representation.</p>
