     *
     * AbstractStore is a superclass of {@link Ext.data.Store} and {@link Ext.data.TreeStore}. It's never used directly,
     * but offers a set of methods used by both of those subclasses.
     *
     * We've left it here in the docs for reference purposes, but unless you need to make a whole new type of Store, what
     * you're probably looking for is {@link Ext.data.Store}. If you're still interested, here's a brief description of what
     * AbstractStore is and is not.
     *
     * AbstractStore provides the basic configuration for anything that can be considered a Store. It expects to be
     * given a {@link Ext.data.Model Model} that represents the type of data in the Store. It also expects to be given a
     * {@link Ext.data.proxy.Proxy Proxy} that handles the loading of data into the Store.
     *
     * AbstractStore provides a few helpful methods such as {@link #method-load} and {@link #sync}, which load and save data
     * respectively, passing the requests through the configured {@link #proxy}. Both built-in Store subclasses add extra
     * behavior to each of these functions. Note also that each AbstractStore subclass has its own way of storing data -
     * in {@link Ext.data.Store} the data is saved as a flat {@link Ext.util.MixedCollection MixedCollection}, whereas in
     * {@link Ext.data.TreeStore TreeStore} we use a {@link Ext.data.Tree} to maintain the data's hierarchy.
     *
     * The store provides filtering and sorting support. This sorting/filtering can happen on the client side
     * or can be completed on the server. This is controlled by the {@link Ext.data.Store#remoteSort remoteSort} and
     * {@link Ext.data.Store#remoteFilter remoteFilter} config options. For more information see the {@link #sort} and
     * {@link Ext.data.Store#filter filter} methods.
