/**
 * An abstract class that adheres to the data connector interface.
 *
 * @typeparam T - The basic entity response type a service's connector.
 *
 * @typeparam U - The basic entity request type, which is conventionally the
 * same as the response type but may be different if a service's implementation
 * requires input data to be different from output responses. Defaults to `T`.
 *
 * @typeparam V - The basic token applied to a request, conventionally a string
 * ID or filter, but may be set to a different type when an implementation
 * requires it. Defaults to `string`.
 *
 * @typeparam W - The type of the optional `query` parameter of the `list`
 * method. Defaults to `string`.
 *
 * #### Notes
 * The only abstract method in this class is the `fetch` method, which must be
 * reimplemented by all subclasses. The `remove` and `save` methods have a
 * default implementation that returns a promise that will always reject. This
 * class is a convenience superclass for connectors that only need to `fetch`.
