/**
 * \class StringToIntegralParameterEntryValidator
 * \brief Standard implementation of a ParameterEntryValidator that maps from
 *   a list of strings to an enum or integer value.
 * \tparam IntegralType The enum or integer type of the result.
 *
 * This class is useful for developers who are defining parameters in
 * a ParameterList.  Suppose that you want to define a parameter in a
 * ParameterList with an enum value.  Enum values do not come with a
 * standard string representation.  This makes it hard to read a
 * ParameterList.  Users would rather see the enum names, not
 * integers.  If you instead set a parameter with this validator,
 * users can provide string names for the enum values, and the
 * validator will automatically convert them to their enum values.
 *
 * All constructors and nonmember "constructors" have the option make
 * validation case insensitive.  Validation is case sensitive by
 * default.  Case sensitivity applies <i>only</i> to the string values
 * of the parameter, not the parameter's name.  We implement case
 * insensitivity by converting all strings to uppercase using the
 * prevailing locale.
 *
 * Teuchos uses StringToIntegralValidatorXMLConverter to convert this
 * validator to and from an XML representation.  Please see the
 * documentation of that class to learn about the XML representation
 * of this validator.
