/**
 * Substitutes variables within a string by values.
 * <p>
 * This class takes a piece of text and substitutes all the variables within it.
 * The default definition of a variable is {@code ${variableName}}.
 * The prefix and suffix can be changed via constructors and set methods.
 * <p>
 * Variable values are typically resolved from a map, but could also be resolved
 * from system properties, or by supplying a custom variable resolver.
 * <p>
 * The simplest example is to use this class to replace Java System properties. For example:
 * <pre>
 * StrSubstitutor.replaceSystemProperties(
 *      "You are running with java.version = ${java.version} and os.name = ${os.name}.");
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Typical usage of this class follows the following pattern: First an instance is created
 * and initialized with the map that contains the values for the available variables.
 * If a prefix and/or suffix for variables should be used other than the default ones,
 * the appropriate settings can be performed. After that the {@code replace()}
 * method can be called passing in the source text for interpolation. In the returned
 * text all variable references (as long as their values are known) will be resolved.
 * The following example demonstrates this:
 * <pre>
 * Map&lt;String, String&gt; valuesMap = new HashMap&lt;&gt;();
 * valuesMap.put(&quot;animal&quot;, &quot;quick brown fox&quot;);
 * valuesMap.put(&quot;target&quot;, &quot;lazy dog&quot;);
 * String templateString = &quot;The ${animal} jumped over the ${target}.&quot;;
 * StrSubstitutor sub = new StrSubstitutor(valuesMap);
 * String resolvedString = sub.replace(templateString);
 * </pre>
 * yielding:
 * <pre>
 *      The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Also, this class allows to set a default value for unresolved variables.
 * The default value for a variable can be appended to the variable name after the variable
 * default value delimiter. The default value of the variable default value delimiter is ':-',
 * as in bash and other *nix shells, as those are arguably where the default ${} delimiter set originated.
 * The variable default value delimiter can be manually set by calling {@link #setValueDelimiterMatcher(StrMatcher)},
 * {@link #setValueDelimiter(char)} or {@link #setValueDelimiter(String)}.
 * The following shows an example with variable default value settings:
 * <pre>
 * Map&lt;String, String&gt; valuesMap = new HashMap&lt;&gt;();
 * valuesMap.put(&quot;animal&quot;, &quot;quick brown fox&quot;);
 * valuesMap.put(&quot;target&quot;, &quot;lazy dog&quot;);
 * String templateString = &quot;The ${animal} jumped over the ${target}. ${undefined.number:-1234567890}.&quot;;
 * StrSubstitutor sub = new StrSubstitutor(valuesMap);
 * String resolvedString = sub.replace(templateString);
 * </pre>
 * yielding:
 * <pre>
 *      The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. 1234567890.
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * In addition to this usage pattern there are some static convenience methods that
 * cover the most common use cases. These methods can be used without the need of
 * manually creating an instance. However if multiple replace operations are to be
 * performed, creating and reusing an instance of this class will be more efficient.
 * <p>
 * Variable replacement works in a recursive way. Thus, if a variable value contains
 * a variable then that variable will also be replaced. Cyclic replacements are
 * detected and will cause an exception to be thrown.
 * <p>
 * Sometimes the interpolation's result must contain a variable prefix. As an example
 * take the following source text:
 * <pre>
 *   The variable ${${name}} must be used.
 * </pre>
 * Here only the variable's name referred to in the text should be replaced resulting
 * in the text (assuming that the value of the {@code name} variable is {@code x}):
 * <pre>
 *   The variable ${x} must be used.
 * </pre>
 * To achieve this effect there are two possibilities: Either set a different prefix
 * and suffix for variables which do not conflict with the result text you want to
 * produce. The other possibility is to use the escape character, by default '$'.
 * If this character is placed before a variable reference, this reference is ignored
 * and won't be replaced. For example:
 * <pre>
 *   The variable $${${name}} must be used.
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * In some complex scenarios you might even want to perform substitution in the
 * names of variables, for instance
 * <pre>
 * ${jre-${java.specification.version}}
 * </pre>
 * {@code StrSubstitutor} supports this recursive substitution in variable
 * names, but it has to be enabled explicitly by setting the
 * {@link #setEnableSubstitutionInVariables(boolean) enableSubstitutionInVariables}
 * property to <strong>true</strong>.
 * <p>This class is <strong>not</strong> thread safe.</p>
 *
 * @since 1.0
 * @deprecated Deprecated as of 1.3, use {@link StringSubstitutor} instead. This class will be removed in 2.0.
