 Persistent objects are simply the objects which automatically save their state
 when they are destroyed and restore it when they are recreated, even during
 another program invocation.

-The persistence framework involves
- - wxPersistenceManager which all persistent objects register themselves with.

-   various global aspects of persistence, e.g. it can be used to disable
-   restoring the saved data.
- - wxPersistentObject is the base class for all persistent objects or, rather,
-   adaptors for the persistent objects as this class main purpose is to provide
-   the bridge between the original class -- which has no special persistence
-   support -- and wxPersistenceManager,
- - wxPersistentWindow<> which derives from wxPersistentObject and implements some
-   of its methods using wxWindow-specific functionality. Notably,
-   wxPersistenceManager handles the destruction of persistent windows
-   automatically implicitly while it has to be done explicitly for the
-   arbitrary persistent objects.
- - wxCreatePersistentObject() function which is used to create the
-   appropriate persistence adapter for the object.
