public interface Location
Analogous to a uniform
resource identifier (URI), a location identifies where
the data resides, without necessarily specifying how to access that
data. The DataHandle interface defines a plugin that knows how to
read and/or write bytes for a particular kind of location.

Location will assign some non-default name. But in cases where that
does not occur, this value can be useful to detect the situation.
