+    @descr          Implement base data container for view options elements.
+                    Every item support ALL possible configuration information.
+                    But not every superclass should use them! Because some view types don't
+                    have it really.
+
+    @attention      We implement a write-through cache! We use it for reading - but write all changes directly to
+                    configuration. (changes are made on internal cache too!). So it's easier to distinguish
+                    between added/changed/removed elements without any complex mask or bool flag information.
+                    Caches from configuration and our own one are synchronized every time - if we do so.
