/**
 * The parent class for all Elgg Entities.
 *
 * An ElggEntity is one of the basic data models in Elgg.  It is the primary
 * means of storing and retrieving data from the database.  An ElggEntity
 * represents one row of the entities table.
 *
 * The ElggEntity class handles CRUD operations for the entities table.
 * ElggEntity should always be extended by another class to handle CRUD
 * operations on the type-specific table.
 *
 * ElggEntity uses magic methods for get and set, so any property that isn't
 * declared will be assumed to be metadata and written to the database
 * as metadata on the object.  All children classes must declare which
 * properties are columns of the type table or they will be assumed
 * to be metadata.  See ElggObject::initialise_entities() for examples.
 *
 * Core supports 4 types of entities: ElggObject, ElggUser, ElggGroup, and
 * ElggSite.
 *
 * @tip Most plugin authors will want to extend the ElggObject class
 * instead of this class.
 *
 * @package    Elgg.Core
 * @subpackage DataModel.Entities
