023/**
024 * <p>
025 * A specialized implementation of the {@code ListDelimiterHandler} interface which disables list splitting.
026 * </p>
027 * <p>
028 * This class does not recognize any list delimiters; passed in strings are returned unchanged. Also the
029 * {@code escape()} method is a dummy - there is no need for escaping delimiter characters as none are supported. Note
030 * that the method for escaping a list throws an {@code UnsupportedOperationException}. If list delimiters are not
031 * supported, there is no point in squashing multiple values into a single one.
032 * </p>
033 * <p>
034 * Implementation note: An instance of this class can be shared between multiple configuration objects. It is state-less
035 * and thread-safe.
036 * </p>
037 *
038 * @since 2.0
