/**

 * A class for using contact store URIs (Uniform Resource Identifier).

 *

 * A URI identifies a contact store. This class is a helper for

 * accessing URI data. It can be used to separate the different parts

 * of the URI and compare URIs.

 *

 * E.g. A URI of the store could be cntdb://c:contacts.cdb.

 * This URI have three components:

 * 1) cntdb is a scheme - EContactStoreUriStoreType

 * 2) c is a drive of the database - EContactStoreUriStoreDrive

 * 3) c:contacts.cdb is the location - EContactStoreUriStoreLocation
