 * used by the protocol buffer implementation to support lazily converting bytes
 * parsed over the wire to String objects until needed and also increases the
 * efficiency of serialization if the String was never requested as the
 * ByteString or byte[] is already cached. The ByteString methods are used in
 * immutable API only and byte[] methods used in mutable API only for they use
 * different representations for string/bytes fields.
