 * If these do not suffice, you can subclass and implement your own matcher.

     * The simplest implementation is to use a Map. However, virtually any
     * implementation is possible.
     * <p>
     * For example, it would be possible to implement a lookup that used the
     * key as a primary key, and looked up the value on demand from the database

     * converting 1 to 2, 15 to 16 etc.
     * <p>
     * The {@link #lookup(String)} method always returns a String, regardless of
     * the underlying data, by converting it as necessary. For example:
     * <pre>
     * Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
     * map.put("number", Integer.valueOf(2));
     * assertEquals("2", StrLookup.mapLookup(map).lookup("number"));
