 * A container of <code>CtClass</code> objects.
 * A <code>CtClass</code> object must be obtained from this object.
 * If <code>get()</code> is called on this object,
 * it searches various sources represented by <code>ClassPath</code>
 * to find a class file and then it creates a <code>CtClass</code> object
 * representing that class file.  The created object is returned to the
 * caller.
 *
 * <p><b>Memory consumption memo:</b>
 *
 * <p><code>ClassPool</code> objects hold all the <code>CtClass</code>es
 * that have been created so that the consistency among modified classes
 * can be guaranteed.  Thus if a large number of <code>CtClass</code>es
 * are processed, the <code>ClassPool</code> will consume a huge amount
 * of memory.  To avoid this, a <code>ClassPool</code> object
 * should be recreated, for example, every hundred classes processed.
 * Note that <code>getDefault()</code> is a singleton factory.
 * Otherwise, <code>detach()</code> in <code>CtClass</code> should be used
 * to avoid huge memory consumption.
 *
 * <p><b><code>ClassPool</code> hierarchy:</b>
 *
 * <p><code>ClassPool</code>s can make a parent-child hierarchy as
 * <code>java.lang.ClassLoader</code>s.  If a <code>ClassPool</code> has
 * a parent pool, <code>get()</code> first asks the parent pool to find
 * a class file.  Only if the parent could not find the class file,
 * <code>get()</code> searches the <code>ClassPath</code>s of
 * the child <code>ClassPool</code>.  This search order is reversed if
 * <code>ClassPath.childFirstLookup</code> is <code>true</code>.
