+It is recommended that you only derive from eoObject in concrete classes.
+Some parts of EO do not implement this yet, but that will change in the future.
+eoObject, together with eoPersistent and eoPrintable provide a simple persistence
+framework that is only needed when the classes have state that changes at runtime.
