Common components and utilities for Artifacter

What's this? - Intro

This module only contains common components and utilities for Artifacter, but you can use it on your own project/application if you like them, these only depends on reflect-metadata at the moment. For now it is very tiny.

What's in here? - API

StringContainer

Class for containing a string "reference", for example, you can pass an instance of this class through methods and work with the "same" string. Strings are inmutable, so keeping a var back-reference through a stack of methods is impossible, but if you pass this reference and work with the contained string, you can save a lot of additional code if you do a heavy string work. It also provides basic methods for string manipulation, not all but a few. Feel free to submit pull requests for additional methods you may require.
