/**
* <p>Convenience base class for converters that translate the String
* representation of an array into a corresponding array of primitives
* object. This class encapsulates the functionality required to parse
* the String into a list of String elements that can later be
* individually converted to the appropriate primitive type.</p>
*
* <p>The input syntax accepted by the <code>parseElements()</code> method
* is designed to be compatible with the syntax used to initialize arrays
* in a Java source program, except that only String literal values are
* supported. For maximum flexibility, the surrounding '{' and '}'
* characters are optional, and individual elements may be separated by
* any combination of whitespace and comma characters.</p>
