	 *
	 * 1. Define a default codec with a new instance of the 
	 * object to be handled.
	 *
	 * (code)
	 * var codec = new mxObjectCodec(new mxGraphModel());
	 * (end)
	 *
	 * 2. Define the functions required for encoding and decoding
	 * objects.
	 *
	 * (code)
	 * codec.encode = function(enc, obj) { ... }
	 * codec.decode = function(dec, node, into) { ... }
	 * (end)
	 *
	 * 3. Register the codec in the <mxCodecRegistry>.
	 *
	 * (code)
	 * mxCodecRegistry.register(codec);
	 * (end)
	 *
	 * <mxObjectCodec.decode> may be used to either create a new 
	 * instance of an object or to configure an existing instance, 
	 * in which case the into argument points to the existing
	 * object. In this case, we say the codec "configures" the
	 * object.
	 * 
	 * Variable: codecs
	 *
	 * Maps from constructor names to codecs.
