/**
 * A utility interface for presenting a Material in its entirety, including Material variants.
 * 
 * This will probably need an overhaul for 1.8, but I'm hoping that using this class everywhere as an intermediate for 
 * the concept of "material type" will allow for a relatively easy transition. We'll see.
 * 
 * In the meantime, this class primary uses String-based "keys" to identify a material. This is not
 * necessarily meant to be a friendly or printable name, though the class is capable of generating a semi-friendly
 * name, which will be the key lowercased and with underscores replaced with spaces. It will also attempt to create
 * a nice name for the variant, such as "blue wool". There is no DB for this, it is all based on the internal Bukkit
 * Material and MaterialData enumerations.
 * 
 * Some examples of keys:
 * wool
 * diamond_block
 * monster_egg
 * wool:15 (for black wool)
 * 
 * This class may also handle special "brushes", and is extended in the MagicPlugin as MaterialBrush. In this case
 * there may be other non-material keys such as clone, copy, schematic:lantern, map, etc.
 * 
 * When used as a storage mechanism for Block or Material data, this class will store the following bits of information:
 * 
 * - Base Material type
 * - Data/durability of material (stored as a byte.. TODO: should this be a short? Let's wait for 1.8)
 * - Sign Text
 * - Command Block Text
 * - Custom Name of Block (Skull, Command block name)
 * - InventoryHolder contents
 * 
 * If persisted to a ConfigurationSection, this will currently only store the base Material and data, extra metadata will not 
 * be saved.
