 * This class represents the object name and class name pair of a binding

 * A context consists of name-to-object bindings.
 * The NameClassPair class represents the name and the
 * class of the bound object. It consists
 * of a name and a string representing the
 * package-qualified class name.

 * Use subclassing for naming systems that generate contents of
 * a name/class pair dynamically.
 *<p>
 * A NameClassPair instance is not synchronized against concurrent
 * access by multiple threads. Threads that need to access a NameClassPair
 * concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide
 * the necessary locking.
