## Detailed Description

Repository of strings.

Ipe documents can use symbolic attributes, such as 'normal', 'fat', or 'thin' for line thickness, or 'red', 'navy', 'turquoise' for color, as well as absolute attributes such as "[3 1] 0" for a dash pattern. To avoid storing these common strings hundreds of times, Repository keeps a repository of strings. Inside an Object, strings are replaced by indices into the repository.

The Repository is a singleton object. It is created the first time it is used. You obtain access to the repository using get().
