A string pool participant is used for sharing strings between several
unrelated parties.  Typically a single StringPool instance
will be created, and a group of participants will be asked to store their
strings in the pool.  This allows participants to share equal strings
without creating explicit dependencies between each other.

Clients may implement this interface.
