   new()
       Return a new instance of this class

   set_key( $key )
       Set the key for this instance.

       Croaks if $key is invalid.

   key()
       Return the current key for this instance.

       Croaks if this instance type can not have a key.

   safe_set_value( $value )
       Set the value for this instance.

       Munges the value to remove invalid characters before setting.

   stringify( $value )
       Returns $value with stringify rules applied.

   children()
       Returns a listref of this instances children.

       Croaks if this instance type can not have children.
