/**
 * Interface to concrete storage - read and write Blocks, addressed by id. 
 * Suitable for memory mapped I/O (returns
 * internally allocated space for read, not provided from outside; write() can
 * insist the block written comes from allocate()).
 * This interfce can also be backed by an in-memory implemntation 
 * ({@link BlockAccessMem}, {@link BlockAccessByteArray}).
 * 
 * This is wrapped in a BlockMgr to provide a higher level abstraction.
