/**
 * This class is a symbol table implementation that guarantees that
 * strings used as identifiers are unique references. Multiple calls
 * to <code>addSymbol</code> will always return the same string
 * reference.
 * <p>
 * The symbol table performs the same task as <code>String.intern()</code>
 * with the following differences:
 * <ul>
 *  <li>
 *   A new string object does not need to be created in order to
 *   retrieve a unique reference. Symbols can be added by using
 *   a series of characters in a character array.
 *  </li>
 *  <li>
 *   Users of the symbol table can provide their own symbol hashing
 *   implementation. For example, a simple string hashing algorithm
 *   may fail to produce a balanced set of hashcodes for symbols
 *   that are <em>mostly</em> unique. Strings with similar leading
 *   characters are especially prone to this poor hashing behavior.
 *  </li>
 * </ul>
 * 
 * An instance of <code>SymbolTable</code> has two parameters that affect its
 * performance: <i>initial capacity</i> and <i>load factor</i>.  The
 * <i>capacity</i> is the number of <i>buckets</i> in the SymbolTable, and the
 * <i>initial capacity</i> is simply the capacity at the time the SymbolTable
 * is created.  Note that the SymbolTable is <i>open</i>: in the case of a "hash
 * collision", a single bucket stores multiple entries, which must be searched
 * sequentially.  The <i>load factor</i> is a measure of how full the SymbolTable
 * is allowed to get before its capacity is automatically increased.
 * When the number of entries in the SymbolTable exceeds the product of the load
 * factor and the current capacity, the capacity is increased by calling the
 * <code>rehash</code> method.<p>
 *
 * Generally, the default load factor (.75) offers a good tradeoff between
 * time and space costs.  Higher values decrease the space overhead but
 * increase the time cost to look up an entry (which is reflected in most
 * <tt>SymbolTable</tt> operations, including <tt>addSymbol</tt> and <tt>containsSymbol</tt>).<p>
 *
 * The initial capacity controls a tradeoff between wasted space and the
 * need for <code>rehash</code> operations, which are time-consuming.
 * No <code>rehash</code> operations will <i>ever</i> occur if the initial
 * capacity is greater than the maximum number of entries the
 * <tt>Hashtable</tt> will contain divided by its load factor.  However,
 * setting the initial capacity too high can waste space.<p>
 *
 * If many entries are to be made into a <code>SymbolTable</code>, 
 * creating it with a sufficiently large capacity may allow the 
 * entries to be inserted more efficiently than letting it perform 
 * automatic rehashing as needed to grow the table. <p>
