    /**
     * @class Ext.data.proxy.Direct
     * @extends Ext.data.proxy.Server
     *
     * This class is used to send requests to the server using {@link Ext.direct}. When a request is made,
     * the transport mechanism is handed off to the appropriate {@link Ext.direct.RemotingProvider Provider}
     * to complete the call.
     *
     * ## Specifying the function
     * This proxy expects a Direct remoting method to be passed in order to be able to complete requests.
     * This can be done by specifying the {@link #directFn} configuration. This will use the same direct
     * method for all requests. Alternatively, you can provide an {@link #api} configuration. This
     * allows you to specify a different remoting method for each CRUD action.
     *
     * ## Paramaters
     * This proxy provides options to help configure which parameters will be sent to the server.
     * By specifying the {@link #paramsAsHash} option, it will send an object literal containing each
     * of the passed parameters. The {@link #paramOrder} option can be used to specify the order in which
     * the remoting method parameters are passed.
     *
     * ## Example Usage
     *
     *     Ext.define('User', {
     *         extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
     *         fields: ['firstName', 'lastName'],
     *         proxy: {
     *             type: 'direct',
     *             directFn: MyApp.getUsers,
     *             paramOrder: 'id' // Tells the proxy to pass the id as the first parameter to the remoting method.
     *         }
     *     });
     *     User.load(1);
