 *
 * <p>These classes are intended to be used as <code>Singletons</code>.
 * There is no need to instantiate a new style each time. A program
 * will generally use one of the predefined constants on this class.
 * Alternatively, the {@link StandardToStringStyle} class can be used
 * to set the individual settings. Thus most styles can be achieved
 * without subclassing.</p>
 *
 * <p>If required, a subclass can override as many or as few of the
 * methods as it requires. Each object type (from <code>boolean</code>
 * to <code>long</code> to <code>Object</code> to <code>int[]</code>) has
 * its own methods to output it. Most have two versions, detail and summary.
 *
 * <p>For example, the detail version of the array based methods will
 * output the whole array, whereas the summary method will just output
 * the array length.</p>
 *
 * <p>If you want to format the output of certain objects, such as dates, you
 * must create a subclass and override a method.
 * </p>
