/**
* A MultiKey allows multiple map keys to be merged together.
*
* The purpose of this class is to avoid the need to write code to handle
* maps of maps. An example might be the need to look up a file name by
* key and locale. The typical solution might be nested maps. This class
* can be used instead by creating an instance passing in the key and locale.
*
* Example usage:
*
* // populate map with data mapping key+locale to localizedText
* Map map = new HashMap();
* MultiKey multiKey = new MultiKey(key, locale);
* map.put(multiKey, localizedText);
*
* // later retrieve the localized text
* MultiKey multiKey = new MultiKey(key, locale);
* String localizedText = (String) map.get(multiKey);
*
