// support the same formats in Get() and Set() directions: for example, a data
// object containing JPEG image might accept BMPs in GetData() because JPEG
// image may be easily transformed into BMP but not in SetData(). Accordingly,
// all methods dealing with formats take an additional "direction" argument
// which is either SET or GET and which tells the function if the format needs
// to be supported by SetData() or GetDataHere().
