/**
 * An internal class which implements [[ParamTypeDefinition]].
 *
 * A [[ParamTypeDefinition]] is a plain javascript object used to register custom parameter types.
 * When a param type definition is registered, an instance of this class is created internally.
 *
 * This class has naive implementations for all the [[ParamTypeDefinition]] methods.
 *
 * Used by [[UrlMatcher]] when matching or formatting URLs, or comparing and validating parameter values.
 *
 * #### Example:
 * ```js
 * var paramTypeDef = {
 *   decode: function(val) { return parseInt(val, 10); },
 *   encode: function(val) { return val && val.toString(); },
 *   equals: function(a, b) { return this.is(a) && a === b; },
 *   is: function(val) { return angular.isNumber(val) && isFinite(val) && val % 1 === 0; },
 *   pattern: /\d+/
 * }
 *
 * var paramType = new ParamType(paramTypeDef);
 * ```
