Sebb updated LANG-564:
----------------------
Comment: was deleted
(was: Likewise, StrSubstitutor is partially generic.
However, almost all the methods return Strings - none of them return <V> - so
why is it generic?)
> Improve StrLookup API documentation

> Reporter: Sebb
> Fix For: 3.0

>
> The API for StrLookup is confused. The class has been partly genericised, but
> why?
> The Javadoc says the class is for looking up Strings which are indexed by
> Strings, and this agrees with the method lookup()
> Surely if the class is generic on <V>, the lookup() method should return V,
> not String?
> Does it make any sense for the class to return anything but a String? If not,
> then why is the class generic?
> If it does make sense, then lookup() should return V.
