as of 11/2018, the functions in this class have been absorbed by the SAMTag enum.
Facility for converting between String and short representation of a SAM tag. short representation is used by HTSJDK internally and is much more efficient. Callers are encouraged to obtain the short value for a tag of interest once, and then use the SAMRecord attribute API that takes shorts rather than Strings. Tags that are defined by the SAM spec are included in the enum SAMTag along with their precomputed short tag.
