Interface IKeyed

All framework object references provided to users are ultimately simple objects that hold unsigned int64 ID keys. Each reference inherrits from this base intereface. The type system is used to help avoid keys being used incorrectly: each object type has it's own empty interface that inherrits from IKeyed (perhaps an anti-pattern). The actual int64 keys are not hidden from the user, so key 'abuse' can occur; but allows custom storage of key values if desired. The framework allows raw keys to be provided to it's service methods, but the user must ensure keys are used for the correct item types Note: The framework does not internally hold references to the IKeyed Objects provided to the user on resource creation, it only stores the unsigned int64 Note: When resources are lost (and the framework requests resource [re-]creation), all old keys will become invalid. It is not guaranteed that keys will not be reused, but it is unlikley (multiple universe lifespan type expected periods)
