StorageKey

A StorageKey represents a value that is either New or Existing.

StorageKey is a type that would be used normally as a key in an EveryDict or EveryDictList to indicate if a value is already Existing - that is, stored in the backend, or New.

If used as a key for an EveryDict we are guarnteed to have only a single New.

type StorageKey recordId

= New

A StorageKey value is either New or Existing.
