/** An object of this class represents a variable-size path for identifying
the location of a datum within an HL7 message, which we can use for
maintaining parser state and for generating a suitable string key (in the
ZYX[a]-b[c]-d-e style) for a piece of data in the message (see toString()).

The elements are: 
segmentID / segmentRepIdx / fieldIdx / fieldRepIdx / compIdx / subcompIdx 

("rep" means "repetition")

segmentID is a String, the rest are Integers.

It is variable-size path-style in that if it has a size of 1, the one element
will be the segmentID; if it has a size of two, element 0 will be the segmentID
and element 1 will be the segmentRepIdx, etc.  This class can't represent a
fieldIdx without having segmentID / segmentRepIdx, etc. etc. 

possible sizes: 0 to 6 inclusive

As toString() simply converts this's integer values to strings (1 => "1"), and
since for some reason the ZYX[a]-b[c]-d-e style counts b, d, e starting from 1
and a, c from 0 -- it is intended that one store the numeric values in this
class starting from 1 for fieldIdx (element 2), compIdx (4) and subcompIdx
(5), and from 0 for segmentRepIdx (1) and fieldRepIdx (3).  default values
provided by setSize() and by toString() do this.
