/**
 * Interface for data objects that can be uniquely identifed by a string id.

 * The interface extends [[IIdentifiable]] to hardcode id type to string.
 * 
 * It is a common pattern to use a string GUID as the id, generated by [[IdGenerator]].

 * ### Example ###
 * 
 *     export class MyData implements IStringIdentifiable {
 *         public id: string;
 *         public field1: string;
 *         public field2: number; 
 *         ...
