+				Manages the players' permissions. The players are assigned a single rank, which contains groups of
+				permissions. The functions in this class query or modify these.</p>
+				<p>
+				All the functions are static, call them using the <code>cRankManager:Function()</code> convention.</p>
+				<p>
+				The players are identified by their UUID, to support player renaming.</p>
+				<p>
+				The rank also contains specific "mesage visuals" - bits that are used for formatting messages from the
+				players. There's a message prefix, which is put in front of every message the player sends, and the
+				message suffix that is appended to each message. There's also a PlayerNameColorCode, which holds the
+				color that is used for the player's name in the messages.</p>
+				<p>
+				Each rank can contain any number of permission groups. These groups allow for an easier setup of the
+				permissions - you can share groups among ranks, so the usual approach is to group similar permissions
+				together and add that group to any rank that should use those permissions.</p>
+				<p>
+				Permissions are added to individual groups. Each group can support unlimited permissions. Note that
+				adding a permission to a group will make the permission available to all the ranks that contain that
+				permission group.</p>
+				<p>
+				One rank is reserved as the Default rank. All players that don't have an explicit rank assigned to them
+				will behave as if assigned to this rank. The default rank can be changed to any other rank at any time.
+				Note that the default rank cannot be removed from the RankManager - RemoveRank() will change the default
+				rank to the replacement rank, if specified, and fail if no replacement rank is specified. Renaming the
+				default rank using RenameRank() will change the default rank to the new name.
