Keys
====

All objects stored through datastore are described by a ``key``. This key
uniquely identifies a particular object, and provides namespacing for queries.
The :py:class:`datastore.Key` class below provides the required functionality.
One can define another Key class with a different format that conforms to the
same interface (particularly stringifying, hashes, namespacing, and ancestry).
