[lang][POLL] text package's mapped replace classes a.k.a. interpolation

[Gary Gregory <gg...@seagullsoftware.com>]

Hello:

WRT org.apache.commons.lang.text mapped replace classes a.k.a.
interpolation.

I'd like to get the feel of the community on whether VariableFormat can
replace Interpolation and MappedMessageFormat? These two latter classes
would be removed.

My goal is to hopefully pick one (VariableFormat) and beef up those
tests (VariableFormatTest) and start moving towards a 2.2 release with
the focus being on the a small text package. A la XP: release early,
release often. :-)

Thanks,

Gary

Certainly this will be the goal, as the current classes have too much 
duplication.

+1

text will (it seems) consist of VariableFormat, StrTokenizer and 
StrBuilder. Perhaps somewhere we can find a fast thread-safe 
NumberFormat class too.
