// The Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop namespace will be developed with these principles:
//  -   Any program written with this Api should work with the ESENT.dll from either
//      Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 or
//      Windows 7.
//  -   The Esent.Interop DLL should only require version 2.0 of the .NET Framework.
//  -   Full and complete documentation. Intellisense should be able to
//      provide useful and extensive help.
//  -   Minimal editorialization. Whenever possible the Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop Jet* api will
//      exactly match the ESENT Api. In particular the names of structs, types
//      and functions will not be changed. Except for:
//  -   Cleaning up Api constants. Instead of providing the constants from
//      esent.h they will be grouped into useful enumerations. This will
//      eliminate a lot of common Api errors.
//  -   Provide helper methods/objects for common operations. These will be layered
//      on top of the ESENT Api.
//  -   Minimize the interop overhead.
//  Changes that will be made are:
//  -   Convert JET_coltyp etc. into real enumerations
//  -   Removing cbStruct from structures
//  -   Removing unused/reserved entries from structures
//  -   Working around ESENT bugs or variances in API behavior
//  -   Automatically using upgraded/downgraded functionality where possible
//  -   Removing common API confusion where possible (e.g. always setting the columnid
//      in the JET_COLUMNDEF)
//  -   Throwing exceptions instead of returning errors
//  The Api has four layers:
//  -   NativeMethods (internal): this is the P/Invoke interop layer. This layer deals
//      with IntPtr and other basic types as opposed to the managed types
//      such as JET_TABLEID.
//  -   JetApi (internal): this layer turns managed objects into
//      objects which can be passed into the P/Invoke interop layer.
//      Methods at this level return an error instead of throwing an exception.
//      This layer is implemented as an object with an interface. This allows
//      the actual implementation to be replaced at runtime, either for testing
//      or to use a different DLL.
//  -   Api (public): this layer provides error-handling, turning errors
//      returned by lower layers into exceptions and warnings.
//  -   Helper methods (public): this layer provides data conversion and
//      iteration for common API activities. These methods do not start
//      with 'Jet' but are implemented using the Jet methods.
//  -   Disposable objects (public): these disposable object automatically
//      release esent resources (instances, sessions, tables and transactions).
