/// with data objects of that type.
///
/// Box operations automatically start an implicit transaction when accessing the database.
/// And because transactions offered by this C API are always reentrant, you can set your own transaction boundary
/// using obx_txn_read() or obx_txn_write().
/// Using these explicit transactions is very much encouraged for calling multiple write operations that
/// logically belong together for better consistency (ACID) and performance.
///
/// Box instances are thread-safe and cached internally (see obx_box()).
