/** This singleton class is an editor state encapsulation object. Every part
 * of the editor could store its state-holder here and it will be automatically
 * persistent across restarts. It is intended for any state informations
 * that are not "Settings", like the contents of the input field histories,
 * persistent, named bookmarks or so.
 * The implementation is just like a HashMap indexed by state-holders' names.
 * Typical usage is myState = EditorState.get( MY_STATE_NAME );
 * There is no support for state change notifications, but the inserted
 * value objects could be singletons as well and could do its own notifications.
