/**
 * Abstract class representing the result of decoding a barcode, as more than
 * a String -- as some type of structured data. This might be a subclass which represents
 * a URL, or an e-mail address. parseResult() will turn a raw
 * decoded string into the most appropriate type of structured representation.
 * 
 * Thanks to Jeff Griffin for proposing rewrite of these classes that relies less
 * on exception-based mechanisms during parsing.
