  new()
Return a new instance of this class

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

Croaks if $key is invalid.

Munges the value to remove invalid characters before setting.

This method also removes some value characters when their inclusion would be likely to break simple parsers.

  value()
Returns the current value for this instance.

  stringify( $value )
