 <p>
 The standard Java libraries fail to provide enough methods for
 manipulation of its core classes. The <em>Lang</em> Component provides
 these extra methods.
 </p>

 <p>
 The <em>Lang</em> Component provides a host of helper utilities for the java.lang API, notably
 String manipulation methods, basic numerical methods, object reflection, creation and serialization,
 and System properties. Additionally it contains an inheritable enum type, an exception structure that
 supports multiple types of nested-Exceptions, basic enhancements to java.util.Date and a series of utlities dedicated to help with
 building methods, such as hashCode, toString and equals.
