/**
* 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.
