/**
 * <p>Represents the object name of an MBean, or a pattern that can
 * match the names of several MBeans.  Instances of this class are
 * immutable.</p>
 *
 * <p>An instance of this class can be used to represent:</p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>An object name</li>
 * <li>An object name pattern, within the context of a query</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>An object name consists of two parts, the domain and the key
 * properties.</p>
 *
 * <p>The <em>domain</em> is a string of characters not including
 * the character colon (<code>:</code>).  It is recommended that the domain
 * should not contain the string "{@code //}", which is reserved for future use.
 *
 * <p>If the domain includes at least one occurrence of the wildcard
 * characters asterisk (<code>*</code>) or question mark
 * (<code>?</code>), then the object name is a pattern.  The asterisk
 * matches any sequence of zero or more characters, while the question
 * mark matches any single character.</p>
 *
 * <p>If the domain is empty, it will be replaced in certain contexts
 * by the <em>default domain</em> of the MBean server in which the
 * ObjectName is used.</p>
 *
 * <p>The <em>key properties</em> are an unordered set of keys and
 * associated values.</p>
 *
 * <p>Each <em>key</em> is a nonempty string of characters which may
 * not contain any of the characters comma (<code>,</code>), equals
 * (<code>=</code>), colon, asterisk, or question mark.  The same key
 * may not occur twice in a given ObjectName.</p>
 *
 * <p>Each <em>value</em> associated with a key is a string of
 * characters that is either unquoted or quoted.</p>
 *
 * <p>An <em>unquoted value</em> is a possibly empty string of
 * characters which may not contain any of the characters comma,
 * equals, colon, or quote.</p>
 *
 * <p>If the <em>unquoted value</em> contains at least one occurrence
 * of the wildcard characters asterisk or question mark, then the object
 * name is a <em>property value pattern</em>. The asterisk matches any
 * sequence of zero or more characters, while the question mark matches
 * any single character.</p>
 *
 * <p>A <em>quoted value</em> consists of a quote (<code>"</code>),
 * followed by a possibly empty string of characters, followed by
 * another quote.  Within the string of characters, the backslash
 * (<code>\</code>) has a special meaning.  It must be followed by
 * one of the following characters:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>Another backslash.  The second backslash has no special
 * meaning and the two characters represent a single backslash.</li>
 *
 * <li>The character 'n'.  The two characters represent a newline
 * ('\n' in Java).</li>
 *
 * <li>A quote.  The two characters represent a quote, and that quote
 * is not considered to terminate the quoted value. An ending closing
 * quote must be present for the quoted value to be valid.</li>
 *
 * <li>A question mark (?) or asterisk (*).  The two characters represent
 * a question mark or asterisk respectively.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>A quote may not appear inside a quoted value except immediately
 * after an odd number of consecutive backslashes.</p>
 *
 * <p>The quotes surrounding a quoted value, and any backslashes
 * within that value, are considered to be part of the value.</p>
 *
 * <p>If the <em>quoted value</em> contains at least one occurrence of
 * the characters asterisk or question mark and they are not preceded
 * by a backslash, then they are considered as wildcard characters and
 * the object name is a <em>property value pattern</em>. The asterisk
 * matches any sequence of zero or more characters, while the question
 * mark matches any single character.</p>
 *
 * <p>An ObjectName may be a <em>property list pattern</em>. In this
 * case it may have zero or more keys and associated values. It matches
 * a nonpattern ObjectName whose domain matches and that contains the
 * same keys and associated values, as well as possibly other keys and
 * values.</p>
 *
 * <p>An ObjectName is a <em>property value pattern</em> when at least
 * one of its <em>quoted</em> or <em>unquoted</em> key property values
 * contains the wildcard characters asterisk or question mark as described
 * above. In this case it has one or more keys and associated values, with
 * at least one of the values containing wildcard characters. It matches a
 * nonpattern ObjectName whose domain matches and that contains the same
 * keys whose values match; if the property value pattern is also a
 * property list pattern then the nonpattern ObjectName can contain
 * other keys and values.</p>
 *
 * <p>An ObjectName is a <em>property pattern</em> if it is either a
 * <em>property list pattern</em> or a <em>property value pattern</em>
 * or both.</p>
 *
 * <p>An ObjectName is a pattern if its domain contains a wildcard or
 * if the ObjectName is a property pattern.</p>
 *
 * <p>If an ObjectName is not a pattern, it must contain at least one
 * key with its associated value.</p>
 *
 * <p>Examples of ObjectName patterns are:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@code *:type=Foo,name=Bar} to match names in any domain whose
 *     exact set of keys is {@code type=Foo,name=Bar}.</li>
 * <li>{@code d:type=Foo,name=Bar,*} to match names in the domain
 *     {@code d} that have the keys {@code type=Foo,name=Bar} plus
 *     zero or more other keys.</li>
 * <li>{@code *:type=Foo,name=Bar,*} to match names in any domain
 *     that has the keys {@code type=Foo,name=Bar} plus zero or
 *     more other keys.</li>
 * <li>{@code d:type=F?o,name=Bar} will match e.g.
 *     {@code d:type=Foo,name=Bar} and {@code d:type=Fro,name=Bar}.</li>
 * <li>{@code d:type=F*o,name=Bar} will match e.g.
 *     {@code d:type=Fo,name=Bar} and {@code d:type=Frodo,name=Bar}.</li>
 * <li>{@code d:type=Foo,name="B*"} will match e.g.
 *     {@code d:type=Foo,name="Bling"}. Wildcards are recognized even
 *     inside quotes, and like other special characters can be escaped
 *     with {@code \}.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>An ObjectName can be written as a String with the following
 * elements in order:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>The domain.
 * <li>A colon (<code>:</code>).
 * <li>A key property list as defined below.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>A key property list written as a String is a comma-separated
 * list of elements.  Each element is either an asterisk or a key
 * property.  A key property consists of a key, an equals
 * (<code>=</code>), and the associated value.</p>
 *
 * <p>At most one element of a key property list may be an asterisk.
 * If the key property list contains an asterisk element, the
 * ObjectName is a property list pattern.</p>
 *
 * <p>Spaces have no special significance in a String representing an
 * ObjectName.  For example, the String:
 * <pre>
 * domain: key1 = value1 , key2 = value2
 * </pre>
 * represents an ObjectName with two keys.  The name of each key
 * contains six characters, of which the first and last are spaces.
 * The value associated with the key <code>"&nbsp;key1&nbsp;"</code>
 * also begins and ends with a space.</p>
 *
 * <p>In addition to the restrictions on characters spelt out above,
 * no part of an ObjectName may contain a newline character
 * (<code>'\n'</code>), whether the domain, a key, or a value, whether
 * quoted or unquoted.  The newline character can be represented in a
 * quoted value with the sequence <code>\n</code>.
 *
 * <p>The rules on special characters and quoting apply regardless of
 * which constructor is used to make an ObjectName.</p>
 *
 * <p>To avoid collisions between MBeans supplied by different
 * vendors, a useful convention is to begin the domain name with the
 * reverse DNS name of the organization that specifies the MBeans,
 * followed by a period and a string whose interpretation is
