/**
 * Class EnumSyntax is an abstract base class providing the common
 * implementation of all "type safe enumeration" objects. An enumeration class
 * (which extends class EnumSyntax) provides a group of enumeration values
 * (objects) that are singleton instances of the enumeration class; for example:
 * <PRE>
 *     public class Bach extends EnumSyntax {
 *         public static final Bach JOHANN_SEBASTIAN     = new Bach(0);
 *         public static final Bach WILHELM_FRIEDEMANN   = new Bach(1);
 *         public static final Bach CARL_PHILIP_EMMANUEL = new Bach(2);
 *         public static final Bach JOHANN_CHRISTIAN     = new Bach(3);
 *         public static final Bach P_D_Q                = new Bach(4);
 *
 *         private static final String[] stringTable = {
 *             "Johann Sebastian Bach",
 *              "Wilhelm Friedemann Bach",
 *              "Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach",
 *              "Johann Christian Bach",
 *              "P.D.Q. Bach"
 *         };
 *
 *         protected String[] getStringTable() {
 *             return stringTable;
 *         }
 *
 *         private static final Bach[] enumValueTable = {
 *             JOHANN_SEBASTIAN,
 *              WILHELM_FRIEDEMANN,
 *              CARL_PHILIP_EMMANUEL,
 *              JOHANN_CHRISTIAN,
 *              P_D_Q
 *         };
 *
 *         protected EnumSyntax[] getEnumValueTable() {
 *             return enumValueTable;
 *         }
 *     }
 * </PRE>
 * You can then write code that uses the <CODE>==</CODE> and <CODE>!=</CODE>
 * operators to test enumeration values; for example:
 * <PRE>
 *     Bach theComposer;
 *     . . .
 *     if (theComposer == Bach.JOHANN_SEBASTIAN) {
 *         System.out.println ("The greatest composer of all time!");
 *     }
 * </PRE>
 * The <CODE>equals()</CODE> method for an enumeration class just does a test
 * for identical objects (<CODE>==</CODE>).
 * <P>
 * You can convert an enumeration value to a string by calling {@link
 * #toString() toString()}. The string is obtained from a table
 * supplied by the enumeration class.
 * <P>
 * Under the hood, an enumeration value is just an integer, a different integer
 * for each enumeration value within an enumeration class. You can get an
 * enumeration value's integer value by calling {@link #getValue()
 * getValue()}. An enumeration value's integer value is established
 * when it is constructed (see {@link #EnumSyntax(int)
 * EnumSyntax(int)}). Since the constructor is protected, the only
 * possible enumeration values are the singleton objects declared in the
 * enumeration class; additional enumeration values cannot be created at run
 * time.
 * <P>
 * You can define a subclass of an enumeration class that extends it with
 * additional enumeration values. The subclass's enumeration values' integer
 * values need not be distinct from the superclass's enumeration values' integer
 * values; the <CODE>==</CODE>, <CODE>!=</CODE>, <CODE>equals()</CODE>, and
 * <CODE>toString()</CODE> methods will still work properly even if the subclass
 * uses some of the same integer values as the superclass. However, the
 * application in which the enumeration class and subclass are used may need to
 * have distinct integer values in the superclass and subclass.
 * <P>
