 * $Id$ [23-Apr-2004]
 *
 * Utility methods for working with parameters.
 * @author Ben Fortuna
 *  * 4.3.11 Text
 * 
 *    Value Name: TEXT
 * 
 *    Purpose This value type is used to identify values that contain human
 *    readable text.
 * 
 *    Formal Definition: The character sets supported by this revision of
 *    iCalendar are UTF-8 and US ASCII thereof. The applicability to other
 *    character sets is for future work. The value type is defined by the
 *    following notation.
 * 
 *      text       = *(TSAFE-CHAR / ":" / DQUOTE / ESCAPED-CHAR)
 *      ; Folded according to description above
 * 
 *      ESCAPED-CHAR = "\\" / "\;" / "\," / "\N" / "\n")
 *         ; \\ encodes \, \N or \n encodes newline
 *         ; \; encodes ;, \, encodes ,
 * 
 *      TSAFE-CHAR = %x20-21 / %x23-2B / %x2D-39 / %x3C-5B
 *                   %x5D-7E / NON-US-ASCII
 *         ; Any character except CTLs not needed by the current
 *         ; character set, DQUOTE, ";", ":", "\", ","
 * 
 *      Note: Certain other character sets may require modification of the
 *      above definitions, but this is beyond the scope of this document.
 * 
 *    Description: If the property permits, multiple "text" values are
 *    specified by a COMMA character (US-ASCII decimal 44) separated list
 *    of values.
 * 
 *    The language in which the text is represented can be controlled by
 *    the "LANGUAGE" property parameter.
 * 
 *    An intentional formatted text line break MUST only be included in a
 *    "TEXT" property value by representing the line break with the
 *    character sequence of BACKSLASH (US-ASCII decimal 92), followed by a
 *    LATIN SMALL LETTER N (US-ASCII decimal 110) or a LATIN CAPITAL LETTER
 *    N (US-ASCII decimal 78), that is "\n" or "\N".
 * 
 *    The "TEXT" property values may also contain special characters that
 *    are used to signify delimiters, such as a COMMA character for lists
 *    of values or a SEMICOLON character for structured values. In order to
 *    support the inclusion of these special characters in "TEXT" property
 *    values, they MUST be escaped with a BACKSLASH character. A BACKSLASH
 *    character (US-ASCII decimal 92) in a "TEXT" property value MUST be
 *    escaped with another BACKSLASH character. A COMMA character in a
 *    "TEXT" property value MUST be escaped with a BACKSLASH character
 *    (US-ASCII decimal 92). A SEMICOLON character in a "TEXT" property
 *    value MUST be escaped with a BACKSLASH character (US-ASCII decimal
 *    92).  However, a COLON character in a "TEXT" property value SHALL NOT
 *    be escaped with a BACKSLASH character.Example: A multiple line value
 *    of:
 * 
 *      Project XYZ Final Review
 *      Conference Room - 3B
 *      Come Prepared.
 * 
 *    would be represented as:
 * 
 *      Project XYZ Final Review\nConference Room - 3B\nCome Prepared.
