/**
 * Strings represent an immutable set of characters.  All String literals
 * are instances of this class, and two string literals with the same contents
 * refer to the same String object.
 *
 * <p>This class also includes a number of methods for manipulating the
 * contents of strings (of course, creating a new object if there are any
 * changes, as String is immutable). Case mapping relies on Unicode 3.0.0
 * standards, where some character sequences have a different number of
 * characters in the uppercase version than the lower case.
 *
 * <p>Strings are special, in that they are the only object with an overloaded
 * operator. When you use '+' with at least one String argument, both
 * arguments have String conversion performed on them, and another String (not
 * guaranteed to be unique) results.
 *
 * <p>String is special-cased when doing data serialization - rather than
 * listing the fields of this class, a String object is converted to a string
 * literal in the object stream.
