 * This is a utility class that manages the initial representation 
 * configuration information for an assembly references:
 *   -formatting of active representation configuration for output before the 
 *    assembly reference is saved
 *   -interpreting the previously saved configuration data when assembly reference 
 *    is initialized
 *   -querying the initial representation settings
 *   -clearing the data when it is no longer required 
 *
 * Most of the implementation is actually written in python, this class is a wrapper
 * around calls into that class - see assemblyReferenceInitialRep.py
