Overview
Abstract base class for all Solar objects.
This is the class from which almost all other Solar classes are extended. Solar_Base is relatively light, and provides ...
Construction-time reading of config file options for itself, and merging of those options with any options passed for instantation, along with the class-defined config defaults, into the Solar_Base::$_config property.
A Solar_Base::locale() convenience method to return locale strings.
A Solar_Base::_exception() convenience method to generate exception objects with translated strings from the locale file
Note that you do not define config defaults in $_config directly; instead, you use a protected property named for the class, with an underscore prefix. For exmple, a "Vendor_Class_Name" class would define the default config array in "$_Vendor_Class_Name". This convention lets child classes inherit parent config keys and values.
