Class grendel.storage.ByteString

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----grendel.storage.ByteString

Represents a set of bytes. This is a spiritual cousin of String, but without the misfeature that characters are two bytes each, and there are 16 bytes of extranious object header. Since we store message headers internally in their on-the-wire form, and that is 7-bit ASCII (and occasionally 8-bit if people are being nonstandard) this is a much more tolerable representation.

This class doesn't provide all of the utilities that String does, but that's pretty much just because I didn't need them (yet?)

this is used by ByteStringTable to uniqueify the strings, to further reduce memory usage.
