/**
* An interface that defines both lookup protocol and parsing of
* symbolic names.
*
* <p>A symbol table maintains two kinds of mappings. The first is
* between symbolic names and their values. For example, if the
* variable with the name "start" is set to the value "alpha"
* (perhaps, though not necessarily, through an expression such as
* "$start=alpha"), then the call lookup("start") will return the
* char[] array ['a', 'l', 'p', 'h', 'a'].
*
* <p>The second kind of mapping is between character values and
* UnicodeMatcher objects. This is used by RuleBasedTransliterator,
* which uses characters in the private use area to represent objects
* such as UnicodeSets. If U+E015 is mapped to the UnicodeSet [a-z],
* then lookupMatcher(0xE015) will return the UnicodeSet [a-z].
*
* <p>Finally, a symbol table defines parsing behavior for symbolic
* names. All symbolic names start with the SYMBOL_REF character.
* When a parser encounters this character, it calls parseReference()
* with the position immediately following the SYMBOL_REF. The symbol
* table parses the name, if there is one, and returns it.
