/**
 * The string tokenizer class allows an application to break a 
 * string into tokens. The tokenization method is much simpler than 
 * the one used by the <code>StreamTokenizer</code> class. The 
 * <code>StringTokenizer</code> methods do not distinguish among 
 * identifiers, numbers, and quoted strings, nor do they recognize 
 * and skip comments. 
 * <p>
 * The set of delimiters (the characters that separate tokens) may 
 * be specified either at creation time or on a per-token basis. 
 * <p>
 * An instance of <code>StringTokenizer</code> behaves in one of two 
 * ways, depending on whether it was created with the 
 * <code>returnDelims</code> flag having the value <code>true</code> 
 * or <code>false</code>: 
 * <ul>
 * <li>If the flag is <code>false</code>, delimiter characters serve to 
 *     separate tokens. A token is a maximal sequence of consecutive 
 *     characters that are not delimiters. 
 * <li>If the flag is <code>true</code>, delimiter characters are themselves 
 *     considered to be tokens. A token is thus either one delimiter 
 *     character, or a maximal sequence of consecutive characters that are 
 *     not delimiters.
 * </ul><p>
 * A <tt>StringTokenizer</tt> object internally maintains a current 
 * position within the string to be tokenized. Some operations advance this 
 * current position past the characters processed.<p>
 * A token is returned by taking a substring of the string that was used to 
 * create the <tt>StringTokenizer</tt> object.
 * <p>
 * The following is one example of the use of the tokenizer. The code:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("this is a test");
 *     while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
 *         System.out.println(st.nextToken());
 *     }
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * <p>
 * prints the following output:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     this
 *     is
 *     a
 *     test
 * </pre></blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * <tt>StringTokenizer</tt> is a legacy class that is retained for
 * compatibility reasons although its use is discouraged in new code. It is
 * recommended that anyone seeking this functionality use the <tt>split</tt>
 * method of <tt>String</tt> or the java.util.regex package instead.
 * <p>
 * The following example illustrates how the <tt>String.split</tt>
 * method can be used to break up a string into its basic tokens:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     String[] result = "this is a test".split("\\s");
 *     for (int x=0; x<result.length; x++)
 *         System.out.println(result[x]);
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * <p>
 * prints the following output:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     this
 *     is
 *     a
 *     test
 * </pre></blockquote>
