/// Database class is the base implementation for persistent databases.
///
/// All databases use an ASCII file format:
///     @li leading/trailing spaces on any line are trimmed.
///     @li lines beginning with '#' are considered comments.
///     @li lines of { <NAME><DELIMITER><VALUE><EOL> } form NAME/VALUEs pairs.
///     @li <NAME> cannot contain any <DELIMITER> characters.
///     @li <DELIMITER> is any combination of { ' ', '=', '\t' }.
///     @li <VALUE> continues until <EOL>.
///     @li <EOL> is optional for last line.
///     @li <NAME> of value this._key marks the beginning of a new record.
///     @li <NAME> is case-insensitive.
///     @li subsequent lines of NAME/VALUE pairs are part of the same record.
