/**
 * <p>
 * An {@link ObjectName} instance represents the name of a management
 * bean, or a pattern which may match the name of one or more
 * management beans.  Patterns are distinguished from names by the
 * presence of the '?' and '*' characters (which match a single
 * character and a series of zero or more characters, respectively).
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Each name begins with a domain element, which is terminated by
 * a ':' character.  The domain may be empty.  If so, it will be
 * replaced by the default domain of the bean server in certain
 * contexts.  The domain is a pattern, if it contains either '?'
 * or '*'.  To avoid collisions, it is usual to use reverse
 * DNS names for the domain, as in Java package and property names.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Following the ':' character is a series of properties.  The list
 * is separated by commas, and largely consists of unordered key-value
 * pairs, separated by an equals sign ('=').  At most one element may
 * be an asterisk ('*'), which turns the {@link ObjectName} instance
 * into a <emph>property list pattern</emph>.  In this situation, the pattern
 * matches a name if the name contains at least those key-value pairs
 * given and has the same domain.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * A <emph>key</emph> is a string of characters which doesn't include
 * any of those used as delimiters or in patterns (':', '=', ',', '?'
 * and '*').  Keys must be unique.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * A value may be <emph>quoted</emph> or <emph>unquoted</emph>.  Unquoted
 * values obey the same rules as given for keys above.  Quoted values are
 * surrounded by quotation marks ("), and use a backslash ('\') character
 * to include quotes ('\"'), backslashes ('\\'), newlines ('\n'), and
 * the pattern characters ('\?' and '\*').  The quotes and backslashes
 * (after expansion) are considered part of the value.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Both quoted and unquoted values may contain the wildcard characters
 * '?' and '*'.  A name with at least one value containing a wildcard
 * character is known as a <emph>property value pattern</emph>.  A
 * name is generally a <emph>property pattern</emph> if it is either
 * a <emph>property list pattern</emph> or <emph>property value pattern</emph>.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Spaces are maintained within the different parts of the name.  Thus,
 * '<code>domain: key1 = value1 </code>' has a key ' key1 ' with value
 * ' value1 '.  Newlines are disallowed, except where escaped in quoted
 * values.
 * </p>
