/**
 * Abstract implementation of the HierarchicalMessageSource interface,
 * implementing common handling of message variants, making it easy
 * to implement a specific strategy for a concrete MessageSource.
 *
 * <p>Subclasses must implement the abstract <code>resolveCode</code>
 * method. For efficient resolution of messages without arguments, the
 * <code>resolveCodeWithoutArguments</code> method should be overridden
 * as well, resolving messages without a MessageFormat being involved.
 *
 * <p><b>Note:</b> By default, message texts are only parsed through
 * MessageFormat if arguments have been passed in for the message. In case
 * of no arguments, message texts will be returned as-is. As a consequence,
 * you should only use MessageFormat escaping for messages with actual
 * arguments, and keep all other messages unescaped. If you prefer to
 * escape all messages, set the "alwaysUseMessageFormat" flag to "true".
 *
 * <p>Supports not only MessageSourceResolvables as primary messages
 * but also resolution of message arguments that are in turn
 * MessageSourceResolvables themselves.
 *
 * <p>This class does not implement caching of messages per code, thus
 * subclasses can dynamically change messages over time. Subclasses are
 * encouraged to cache their messages in a modification-aware fashion,
 * allowing for hot deployment of updated messages.
