/**
 * <p>Represents the object name of an MBean, or a pattern that can
 * match the names of several MBeans.  Instances of this class are
 * immutable.</p>
 *
 * <p>An instance of this class can 
 * be used to represent: 
 * <ul>
 * <li> An object name 
 * <li> An object name pattern, within the context of a query
 * </ul></p>
 *
 * <p>An object name consists of two parts, the domain and the key
 * properties.</p>
 *
 * <p>The <em>domain</em> is a string of characters not including
 * the character colon (<code>:</code>).</p>
 *
 * <p>If the domain includes at least one occurrence of the wildcard
 * characters asterisk (<code>*</code>) or question mark
 * (<code>?</code>), then the object name is a pattern.  The asterisk
 * matches any sequence of zero or more characters, while the question
 * mark matches any single character.</p>
 *
 * <p>If the domain is empty, it will be replaced in certain contexts
 * by the <em>default domain</em> of the MBean server in which the
 * ObjectName is used.</p>
 *
 * <p>The <em>key properties</em> are an unordered set of keys and
 * associated values.</p>
 *
 * <p>Each <em>key</em> is a nonempty string of characters which may
 * not contain any of the characters comma (<code>,</code>), equals
 * (<code>=</code>), colon, asterisk, or question mark.  The same key
 * may not occur twice in a given ObjectName.</p>
 *
 * <p>Each <em>value</em> associated with a key is a string of
 * characters that is either unquoted or quoted.</p>
 *
 * <p>An <em>unquoted value</em> is a possibly empty string of
 * characters which may not contain any of the characters comma,
 * equals, colon, quote, asterisk, or question mark.</p>
 *
 * <p>A <em>quoted value</em> consists of a quote (<code>"</code>),
 * followed by a possibly empty string of characters, followed by
 * another quote.  Within the string of characters, the backslash
 * (<code>\</code>) has a special meaning.  It must be followed by
 * one of the following characters:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>Another backslash.  The second backslash has no special
 * meaning and the two characters represent a single backslash.
 *
 * <li>The character 'n'.  The two characters represent a newline
 * ('\n' in Java).
 *
 * <li>A quote.  The two characters represent a quote, and that quote
 * is not considered to terminate the quoted value. An ending closing
 * quote must be present for the quoted value to be valid.
 *
 * <li>A question mark (?) or star (*).  The two characters represent
 * a question mark or star respectively.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>A quote, question mark, or star may not appear inside a quoted
 * value except immediately after an odd number of consecutive
 * backslashes.</p>
 *
 * <p>The quotes surrounding a quoted value, and any backslashes
 * within that value, are considered to be part of the value.</p>
 *
 * <p>An ObjectName may be a <em>property pattern</em>.  In this case
 * it may have zero or more keys and associated values.  It matches a
 * nonpattern ObjectName whose domain matches and that contains the
 * same keys and associated values, as well as possibly other keys and
 * values.</p>
 *
 * <p>An ObjectName is a pattern if its domain contains a wildcard or
 * if the ObjectName is a property pattern.</p>
 *
 * <p>If an ObjectName is not a pattern, it must contain at least one
 * key with its associated value.</p>
 *
 * <p>An ObjectName can be written as a String with the following
 * elements in order:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>The domain.
 * <li>A colon (<code>:</code>).
 * <li>A key property list as defined below.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>A key property list written as a String is a comma-separated
 * list of elements.  Each element is either an asterisk or a key
 * property.  A key property consists of a key, an equals
 * (<code>=</code>), and the associated value.</p>
 *
 * <p>At most one element of a key property list may be an asterisk.
 * If the key property list contains an asterisk element, the
 * ObjectName is a property pattern.</p>
 *
 * <p>Spaces have no special significance in a String representing an
 * ObjectName.  For example, the String:
 * <pre>
 * domain: key1 = value1 , key2 = value2
 * </pre>
 * represents an ObjectName with two keys.  The name of each key
 * contains six characters, of which the first and last are spaces.
 * The value associated with the key <code>" key1 "</code>
 * also begins and ends with a space.</p>
 *
 * <p>In addition to the restrictions on characters spelt out above,
 * no part of an ObjectName may contain a newline character
 * (<code>'\n'</code>), whether the domain, a key, or a value, whether
 * quoted or unquoted.  The newline character can be represented in a
 * quoted value with the sequence <code>\n</code>.
 *
 * <p>The rules on special characters and quoting apply regardless of
 * which constructor is used to make an ObjectName.</p>
 *
 * <p>To avoid collisions between MBeans supplied by different
 * vendors, a useful convention is to begin the domain name with the
 * reverse DNS name of the organization that specifies the MBeans,
 * followed by a period and a string whose interpretation is
 * determined by that organization.  For example, MBeans specified by
 * Sun Microsystems Inc., DNS name <code>sun.com</code>, would have
 * domains such as <code>com.sun.MyDomain</code>.  This is essentially
 * the same convention as for Java-language package names.</p>
