          public static String encode(String p)

      Encode a string (if necessary) for output to a JTL file. Strings are only encoded if the output version is 1.0, but nulls are always converted to the empty string.
      Parameters:
        `p` - string to encode
      Returns:
        encoded string (will never be null)

    - #### decode

          public static String decode(String p)

      Decode a string if `inVersion` equals `1.0`
      Parameters:
        `p` - the string to be decoded
      Returns:
        the newly decoded string

    - #### cdata

      Embed an array of bytes as a string with `encoding` in a xml-cdata section
      Parameters:
        `chars` - bytes to be encoded and embedded
        `encoding` - the encoding to be used
      Returns:
        the encoded string embedded in a xml-cdata section
      Throws:
        `UnsupportedEncodingException` - when the bytes can not be encoded using `encoding`

    - #### isSpecialProperty

          public static boolean isSpecialProperty(String name)

      Check whether `name` specifies a special property
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the property to be checked
      Returns:
        `true` if `name` is the name of a special property

    - #### getPropertyName
