Class Overview
This interface is used for parsing names from a hierarchical
namespace. The NameParser contains knowledge of the syntactic
information (like left-to-right orientation, name separator, etc.)
needed to parse names.
The equals() method, when used to compare two NameParsers, returns
true if and only if they serve the same namespace.
