/**
 * Like {@link com.google.gwt.i18n.client.Constants}, a tag interface that
 * facilitates locale-sensitive, compile-time binding of constant values
 * supplied from properties files with the added ability to look up constants at
 * runtime with a string key.
 * 
 * 
 * ConstantsWithLookup extends
 * {@link com.google.gwt.i18n.client.Constants} and is identical in behavior,
 * adding only a family of special-purpose lookup methods such as
 * {@link ConstantsWithLookup#getString(String)}.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * It is generally preferable to extend Constants rather than
 * ConstantsWithLookup because ConstantsWithLookup
 * forces all constants to be retained in the compiled script, preventing the
 * GWT compiler from pruning unused constant accessors.
 * 
 * 
 * Required Module
 * Modules that use this interface should inherit
 * com.google.gwt.i18n.I18N.
 * 
 * {@gwt.include com/google/gwt/examples/i18n/InheritsExample.gwt.xml}
 * 
 * Note
 * You should not directly implement this interface or interfaces derived from
 * it since an implementation is generated automatically when message interfaces
 * are created using {@link com.google.gwt.core.client.GWT#create(Class)}.
 * 
 * @see com.google.gwt.i18n.client.Constants
