/**
 * <p>
 * A class that handles interpolation (variable substitution) for configuration
 * objects.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Each instance of <code>AbstractConfiguration</code> is associated with an
 * object of this class. All interpolation tasks are delegated to this object.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <code>ConfigurationInterpolator</code> works together with the
 * <code>StrSubstitutor</code> class from <a
 * href="http://commons.apache.org/lang">Commons Lang</a>. By extending
 * <code>StrLookup</code> it is able to provide values for variables that
 * appear in expressions.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The basic idea of this class is that it can maintain a set of primitive
 * <code>StrLookup</code> objects, each of which is identified by a special
 * prefix. The variables to be processed have the form
 * <code>${prefix:name}</code>. <code>ConfigurationInterpolator</code> will
 * extract the prefix and determine, which primitive lookup object is registered
 * for it. Then the name of the variable is passed to this object to obtain the
 * actual value. It is also possible to define a default lookup object, which
 * will be used for variables that do not have a prefix or that cannot be
 * resolved by their associated lookup object.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * When a new instance of this class is created it is initialized with a default
 * set of primitive lookup objects. This set can be customized using the static
 * methods <code>registerGlobalLookup()</code> and
 * <code>deregisterGlobalLookup()</code>. Per default it contains the
 * following standard lookup objects:
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <table border="1">
 * <tr>
 * <th>Prefix</th>
 * <th>Lookup object</th>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 * <td valign="top">sys</td>
 * <td>With this prefix a lookup object is associated that is able to resolve
 * system properties.</td>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 * <td valign="top">const</td>
 * <td>The <code>const</code> prefix indicates that a variable is to be
 * interpreted as a constant member field of a class (i.e. a field with the
 * <b>static final</b> modifiers). The name of the variable must be of the form
 * <code>&lt;full qualified class name&gt;.&lt;field name&gt;</code>, e.g.
 * <code>org.apache.commons.configuration.interpol.ConfigurationInterpolator.PREFIX_CONSTANTS
 * </code>.</td>
 * </tr>
 * </table>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * After an instance has been created the current set of lookup objects can be
 * modified using the <code>registerLookup()</code> and
 * <code>deregisterLookup()</code> methods. The default lookup object (that is
 * invoked for variables without a prefix) can be set with the
 * <code>setDefaultLookup()</code> method. (If a
 * <code>ConfigurationInterpolator</code> instance is created by a
 * configuration object, this lookup points to the configuration itself, so that
 * variables are resolved using the configuration's properties. This ensures
 * backward compatibility to earlier version of Commons Configuration.)
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Implementation node: Instances of this class are not thread-safe related to
 * modifications of their current set of registered lookup objects. It is
 * intended that each instance is associated with a single
 * <code>Configuration</code> object and used for its interpolation tasks.
 * </p>
