      public class CharArraySet
      extends AbstractSet<Object>

  A simple class that stores Strings as char[]'s in a hash table. Note that this is not a general purpose class. For example, it cannot remove items from the set, nor does it resize its hash table to be smaller, etc. It is designed to be quick to test if a char[] is in the set without the necessity of converting it to a String first.

  Please note: This class implements `Set` but does not behave like it should in all cases. The generic type is `Set<Object>`, because you can add any object to it, that has a string representation. The add methods will use `Object.toString()` and store the result using a `char[]` buffer. The same behavior have the `contains()` methods. The `iterator()` returns an `Iterator<char[]>`.

          public CharArraySet(int startSize,
                              boolean ignoreCase)

      Create set with enough capacity to hold startSize terms
      Parameters:
        `startSize` - the initial capacity
        `ignoreCase` - `false` if and only if the set should be case sensitive otherwise `true`.

      Creates a set from a Collection of objects.
      Parameters:
        `c` - a collection whose elements to be placed into the set
        `ignoreCase` - `false` if and only if the set should be case sensitive otherwise `true`.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### clear

          public void clear()

      Clears all entries in this set. This method is supported for reusing, but not `Set.remove(java.lang.Object)`.
      Specified by:
        `clear` in interface `Collection<Object>`
      Specified by:
        `clear` in interface `Set<Object>`
      Overrides:
        `clear` in class `AbstractCollection<Object>`

    - #### contains

          public boolean contains(char[] text,
                                  int off,
                                  int len)

      true if the `len` chars of `text` starting at `off` are in the set

    - #### contains

          public boolean contains(CharSequence cs)

      true if the `CharSequence` is in the set

    - #### contains

          public boolean contains(Object o)

      Specified by:
        `contains` in interface `Collection<Object>`
      Specified by:
        `contains` in interface `Set<Object>`
      Overrides:
        `contains` in class `AbstractCollection<Object>`
