   /**
    * This registry implementation is a fairly reliable, small scale, preference, and app variable database
    * Do not consider this as a replacement for a "real" high performance kvp database, it is not, it's a small cache backed document serializer for user profiles
    * 
    * Basic use case:--------------------------------------------------------------
    *  -> AllocRegistry()
    *    -> Read("~/Registry/MyApp/DefSettings.dat")
    *    -> Read("~/Registry/MyApp/UserSettings.dat")
    *    -> menu.color = GetOrSetKey("theme-color", {.13, .13, .13})
    *    -> menu.colorChanaged := SetKey("theme-color", color)
    *    -> app:onExit := SaveAll({})
    * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    * 
    * Arbitrary write use case:----------------------------------------------------
    *  -> AllocRegistry()
    *    -> OpenReadWriteback("~/Registry/MyApp/Settings.dat")
    *    -> menu.color = GetOrSetKey("theme-color", {.13, .13, .13})
    *    -> menu.colorChanaged := SetKey("theme-color", color)
    * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    * 
    * Implementing a protected registry:-------------------------------------------
    *  -> AllocRegistry()
    *    -> Read("~/Registry/MyApp/PlayerProfile.dat") will read disk template to the cache, including one "genuine-player-setting"
    *    -> SetWriteModeCache()
    *      -> WriteKey("dev-secret-menu-enabled", {0})
    *      -> LockKey("dev-secret-menu-enabled"), no user write may pass to 'dev-reserved'
    *    -> SetWriteModeCache()
    *      -> SetKey("dev-secret-menu-enabled", {1}) originating from an evil script will fail, returning false
    *      -> SetKey("genuine-ux-setting", {2, 2}) will successfully write to cache
    *      -> SetKey("genuine-player-setting", {2, 2}) will be assumed to be legitimate, write to cache 
    *      -> GetKey("genuine-ux-setting") will return {2, 2} from the cache
    *      -> GetKey("genuine-player-setting") will return {2, 2} from the cache
    *      -> SetKey("some-leftover-magic", {.3, .4, .3}) will successfully write to cache
    *      -> GetKey("some-leftover-magic") will return {.3, .4, .3} from the cache
    *    -> OpenSave({})
    *      -> SetKey("genuine-ux-setting", GetKey("genuine-ux-setting")) will specifically write genuine-ux-setting to disk
    *      -> var userSetting = GetKey("genuine-player-setting") will return genuine-player-setting from the cache 
    *      -> if (userSetting is inbounds of good constraints) then SetKey("genuine-player-setting", userSetting [=GetKey("genuine-ux-setting")]) will write the cached value back to disk
    *    -> --
    *    -> Unload(), some-leftover-magic will be lost 
    * 
    * 
    *  -> Prevent malicious usage of development variables while ensuring spurious references work with read only reference values
    *    -> You may write to the registry the default safe [key:value]s; for instance, zeroing out debug options 
    *    -> You may call `LockKey(...)` to ensure spurious writes, like an unchecked server server command or user request, will not overload the protected variable
    * 
    *  -> Some developers may wish to validate the registry dataset before locking the registry,
    *    -> A general purpose vaildator, schema vaildator, or similar may wish to reset values back to a known good state (`SetWriteModeCache` + `SetKey`) before locking (`SetWriteModeNone`) an otherwise read only database
