  """A base class for Model classes that are "linkable".

  Many entities in Melange are identified by a "link path" that is formed

  by two components:  a "link scope" and a "link ID".

  The link scope is a reference to another Linkable entity, but its exact

  usage varies depending on:

   * the Model type of the entity

   * the "ownership" of the entity

  This scope represents the "context" of the entity and is *not* user-

  editable (site Developers will be able to *carefully* edit the scope

  of a Linkable entity, but implementing this will be tricky).

  Appended to this "link path prefix" generated from the transitive

  closure of the link scopes is a link ID.  Unlike the rest of the link

  path, this ID, which must be unique within the scope defined by the link

  path, is *not* determined by context and *is* supplied by the user.

  For example, a Document containing the FAQs for the Apache Software 

  Foundation participation in GSoC 2009 program sponsored

  by Google could be given a link ID by the Apache organization

  administrator of "faqs", but the rest of the link path would be

  determined by the transitive closure of the scopes of the Document:

    google/gsoc2009/asf/faqs

      ^       ^      ^   ^

      |       |      |   +---------  link ID assigned by Apache admin

      |       |      |

      |       |      +-------------  Apache org link ID (immutable)

      |       |

      |       +--------------------  GSoC 2009 program link ID (immutable)

      |

      +----------------------------  Google sponsor link ID (immutable)

  For many entities, link IDs, once specified, are immutable, since

  changing them can break bookmarked URLs.  Changing the link IDs of

  "leaf" entities (such as the Document in the example above) could

  be allowed.
