Realised a nested class with work in the constructor was more concise than a static method. Shared my findings for this here http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/6210/4633 Also, removed unnecessary braces.

realised that a delimited string had fewer characters than an array, and could save a heap by splitting it when I needed it split. Also, saved a few with string => var.
