 * Interface for objects that are capable of reconstructing a component. The component and it's
 * children must be in the exact state as they were before "dehydrating".
 * 
 * This is useful for parts of page that are memory heavy but easy to reconstruct. Between requests
 * only the {@link IComponentSource} instance is kept, rather then actual component. The component
 * is then reconstructed on first access
 * 
 * This feature is experimental.
