/**
* Pool of String constants to prevent repeating of
* hard-coded String literals in the code.
* Due to fact that these are public static final
* they will be inlined by java compiler and
* reference to this class will be dropped.
* There is no performance gain of using this pool.
* Read: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/lexical.html#3.10.5
*
* - Literal strings within the same class in the same package represent references to the same
String object.
* - Literal strings within different classes in the same package represent references to the same
String object.
* - Literal strings within different classes in different packages likewise represent references to the same
String object.
* - Strings computed by constant expressions are computed at compile time and then treated as if they were literals.
*
- Strings computed by concatenation at run time are newly created and therefore distinct.
