/**
 * <p>
 * A specialized implementation of the {@code ListDelimiterHandler} interface
 * which disables list splitting.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This class does not recognize any list delimiters; passed in strings are
 * returned unchanged. Also the {@code escape()} method is a dummy - there is no
 * need for escaping delimiter characters as none are supported. Note that the
 * method for escaping a list throws an {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.
 * If list delimiters are not supported, there is no point in squashing multiple
 * values into a single one.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Implementation note: An instance of this class can be shared between multiple
 * configuration objects. It is state-less and thread-safe.
 * </p>
 *
 * @version $Id$
 * @since 2.0
