public class StringEnumAbstractBase extends Object implements Serializable
Subclasses are intended to be final types with a finite set of
singleton instances. Each instance has a string value, which
it returns via toString(), and an int value for the purpose
of switching in case statements, returned via intValue().
Each subclass manages an instance of StringEnumAbstractBase.Table,
which holds all the singleton instances for the subclass. A Table
can return a singleton instance given a String or an integer code.
