 32               -	Double check that all these operations work across protocol.
 33           

 34 mike  1.5     -	Check that they have keys during validation.

 35 mike  1.1 
 36           -   Associations:
 37           

 38 mike  1.5     -	Implement CIMRepository::referencesOf()

 39 mike  1.1 

 40 mike  1.5     -	Implement CIMRepository::associatorsOf()

 44           -   Exceptions:
 45           

 46 mike  1.5     -	Force __FILE__ and __LINE__ argument on every usage of CIMException.

 47 mike  1.2 

 48 mike  1.1     -	Clean up and consolidate exception classes.
 49
