public class GenerateManualConstruction

extends java.lang.Object

Given a well-formed String, s--that is, one for which IclTerm.fromString(true, s) does not throw an exception--and where s contains no icldataq() type terms, this class can be used to generate a new String which represents the manual construction of the term represented by s.

For example, calling getInstance().from("a") would result in the String new IclStr("a") This is most useful when you have a long String for which you currently call IclTerm.fromString(). The reason is because calling fromString() is much slower than using the equivalent constructor calls, due to the parsing overhead.
