Thanks.
I meant that it might 'clutter' the class to add "getDecoded***()"
methods.
Yes, but I prefer to err on the side of points of use rather than
class definition. By that I mean that if getDecoded*() methods are
not defined, then every use of get*() methods where one wants decoding
requires something like:
path = Reference.decode( ref.getPath() );
which is more verbose than:
path = ref.getDecodedPath();
The "clutter", instead of being hidden away in the source file of
Reference.java, is now dispersed to every use of the functions.
