// RESTExportStrategy is the interface that defines how to export a Kubernetes
// object.  An exported object is stripped of non-user-settable fields and
// optionally, the identifying information related to the object's identity in
// the cluster so that it can be loaded into a different namespace or entirely
// different cluster without conflict.

	// Export strips fields that can not be set by the user.  If 'exact' is false
	// fields specific to the cluster are also stripped
