/**
 * @class Ext.ComponentManager
 * @extends Ext.AbstractManager
 * <p>Provides a registry of all Components (instances of {@link Ext.Component} or any subclass
 * thereof) on a page so that they can be easily accessed by {@link Ext.Component component}
 * {@link Ext.Component#id id} (see {@link #get}, or the convenience method {@link Ext#getCmp Ext.getCmp}).</p>
 * <p>This object also provides a registry of available Component <i>classes</i>
 * indexed by a mnemonic code known as the Component's {@link Ext.Component#xtype xtype}.
 * The <code>xtype</code> provides a way to avoid instantiating child Components
 * when creating a full, nested config object for a complete Ext page.</p>
 * <p>A child Component may be specified simply as a <i>config object</i>
 * as long as the correct <code>{@link Ext.Component#xtype xtype}</code> is specified so that if and when the Component
 * needs rendering, the correct type can be looked up for lazy instantiation.</p>
 * <p>For a list of all available <code>{@link Ext.Component#xtype xtypes}</code>, see {@link Ext.Component}.</p>
