+The Lang Component provides a host of helper utilities for the
+java.lang API, notably String manipulation methods, basic
+numerical methods, object reflection, creation and serialization,
+and System properties. Additionally it contains an inheritable
+enum type, an exception structure that supports multiple types of
+nested-Exceptions and a series of utlities dedicated to help with
+building methods, such as hashCode, toString and equals.
