/**
 * Information about a VM option including its value and
 * where the value came from which is referred as its
 * {@link VMOption.Origin <i>origin}.
 * <p>
 * Each VM option has a default value.  A VM option can
 * be set at VM creation time typically as a command line
 * argument to the launcher or an argument passed to the
 * VM created using the JNI invocation interface.
 * In addition, a VM option may be set via an environment
 * variable or a configuration file. A VM option can also
 * be set dynamically via a management interface after
 * the VM was started.
 *
 * A <tt>VMOption contains the value of a VM option
 * and the origin of that value at the time this <tt>VMOption
 * object was constructed.  The value of the VM option
 * may be changed after the <tt>VMOption object was constructed,
