John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2459:
-------------------------------------
This fixes a misleading comment that "There is no need to look up the parent
hierarchy within a non terminal field", which isn't correct, non-terminal
fields _can_ in fact inherit values from their own parents. It's just that
exposing inherited values for PDNonTerminalField in the API isn't useful, as
then one could never determine anything specific about a given non-terminal
field. I've added a JavaDoc comment explaining this.
