    Description

      Some fields in Entities are used as constants but they are not final, so can be changed accidentally or maliciously:

      ISO8859_1_ARRAY_LENGTH
      HTML40_ARRAY_LENGTH

      Entities.map should also be final
      Entities.LookupEntityMap.LOOKUP_TABLE_SIZE should be final

      Entities.MapIntMap.mapValueToName and mapNameToValue would benefit from being made final.
      This would require a constructor to be added that can initialise the Maps.

      LookupEntityMap is not thread-safe - it creates the lookup table without synchronisation, and mutates it after initial creation.

      Entities.ArrayEntityMap.growBy should be final

      As far as possible, all instance fields to be made final.
