/**
 * Chalk has a large number of extensible resources. Think:
 *
 * - Brushes
 * - Palettes
 * - Patterns
 * - Gradients
 * - Color models
 * - Filters
 * - Composition operations
 * - Paint operations
 * - Tools
 * - Docker tabs
 * 
 * and more...
 *
 * Many of these resources are stored in KisGenericRegistry-based
 * registries. If we store these resources with a descriptive string
 * as a key use the same string in our UI, then our UI will not be
 * localizable, because the identifications of particular resources
 * will be stored in files, and those files need to be exchangeable.
 *
 * So, instead we use and ID class that couples an identification
 * string that will be the same across all languages, an i18n-able
 * string that will be used in comboboxes and that has a fast equality
 * operator to make it well suited for use as key in a registry map.
 *
 * That last bit has not been solved yet.
