protId

Prot id is a constant value assigned to each unique prot, with the intent of being able to switch on these constants and make use of a tableswitch operation, allowing fast O(1) lookups for various zone prots. The respective, unique constants are defined in revision-specific zone prot file. Each id is expected to be unique and incrementing. Gaps should not exist as they cause the JVM to use a lookupswitch instead.
