  \brief Handles URL aliases in eZ Publish

  URL aliases are different names for existing URLs in eZ Publish.
  Using URL aliases allows for having better looking urls on the webpage
  as well as having fixed URLs pointing to various locations.

  This class handles storing, fetching, moving and subtree updates on
  eZ Publish URL aliases, this performed using methods from eZPersistentObject.

  The table used to store path information is designed to keep each element in
  the path (separated by /) in one row, ie. not the entire path.
  Each row uses the *parent* field to say which element is the parent of the current one,
  a value of 0 means a top-level path element.
  The system also supports path elemens in multiple languages, each language
  is stored in separate rows but with the same path element ID, the exception is
  when the text of multiple languages are the same then they will simply share the
  same row.

  Instead of manipulating path elements directly it is recommended to use one
  the higher level methods for fetching or storing a path.

  For objects the methods getChildren() and getPath() can be used to fetch the child elements and path string.

  Typically you will not have a path element object and should use on of these static functions:

  - storePath() - Stores a given path with specified action, all parent are created if they don't exist.
  - fetchByPath() - Fetch path elements by path string, some wildcard support is also available.
  - translate() - Translate requested path string into the internal path.

  For more detailed path element handling these static methods are available:

  - fetchByAction() - Fetch a path element based on the action.
  - fetchByParentID() - Fetch path elements based on parent ID.
  - fetchPathByActionList() - Fetch path string based on action values, this is more optimized than getPath().

  - setLangMaskAlwaysAvailable() - Updates language mask for path elements based on actions.

  Most of these methods have some common arguments, they can be:
  - $maskLanguages - If true then only elements which matches the currently prioritized languaes is processed.
  - $onlyPrioritized - If true then only the top prioritized language of the elements is considered. Requires $maskLanguages to be set to true.
  - $includeRedirections - If true then elements which redirects to this is also processed.

     Stores the full path $path to point to action $action, any missing parents are created as placeholders (ie. nop:).

     Returns an array containing the entry 'status' which is the status code, is \c true if all went well, a number otherwise (see class constants).
     Will contain 'path' for succesful creation or if the path already exists.

     \param $path String containing full path, leading and trailing slashes are stripped.
     \param $action Action string for entry.
     \param $languageName The language to use for entry, can be a string (locale code, e.g. 'nor-NO') an eZContentLanguage object or false for the top prioritized language.
     \param $linkID Numeric ID for link field, if it is set to false the entry will point to itself. Use this for redirections. Use \c true if you want to create an link/alias which points to a module (ie. no entry in urlalias table).
     \param $alwaysAvailable If true the entry will be available in any language.
     \param $rootID ID of the parent element to start at, use 0/false for the very top.
     \param $cleanupElements If true each element in the path will be cleaned up according to the current URL transformation rules.
     \param $autoAdjustName If true it will adjust the name until it is unique in the path. Used together with $linkID.
     \param $reportErrors If true it will report found errors using eZDebug, if \c false errors are only return in 'status'.
     \param $aliasRedirects If true and an alias is being stored it will redirect (using HTTP 301) to it's destination.
