/**
 *  Provides a definition for a page filter.  A page filter is a class
 *  that can be used to transform the WikiPage content being saved or
 *  being loaded at any given time.
 *  <p>
 *  Note that the WikiContext.getPage() method always returns the context
 *  in which text is rendered, i.e. the original request.  Thus the content
 *  may actually be different content than what what the wikiContext.getPage()
 *  implies!  This happens often if you are for example including multiple
 *  pages on the same page.
 *  <p>
 *  PageFilters must be thread-safe!  There is only one instance of each PageFilter 
 *  per each WikiEngine invocation.  If you need to store data persistently, use
 *  VariableManager, or WikiContext.
 *  <p>
 *  As of 2.5.30, initialize() gains access to the WikiEngine.
