 * This interface is implemented as a marker by computer cases.

 * This is implemented by computer case tile entities. That means you can

 * <pre>
 *     if (tileEntity instanceof Case) {
 * </pre>
 * <p/>
 * The only purpose is to allow identifying tile entities as computer cases
 * via the API, i.e. without having to link against internal classes. This
 * also means that <em>you should not implement this</em>.
