/**
 * The <code>StreamTokenizer</code> class takes an input stream and
 * parses it into "tokens", allowing the tokens to be
 * read one at a time. The parsing process is controlled by a table
 * and a number of flags that can be set to various states. The
 * stream tokenizer can recognize identifiers, numbers, quoted
 * strings, and various comment styles.
 * <p>
 * Each byte read from the input stream is regarded as a character
 * in the range <code>'\u0000'</code> through <code>'\u00FF'</code>.
 * The character value is used to look up five possible attributes of
 * the character: <i>white space</i>, <i>alphabetic</i>,
 * <i>numeric</i>, <i>string quote</i>, and <i>comment character</i>.
 * Each character can have zero or more of these attributes.
 * <p>
 * In addition, an instance has four flags. These flags indicate:
 * <ul>
 * <li>Whether line terminators are to be returned as tokens or treated
 *     as white space that merely separates tokens.
 * <li>Whether C-style comments are to be recognized and skipped.
 * <li>Whether C++-style comments are to be recognized and skipped.
 * <li>Whether the characters of identifiers are converted to lowercase.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * A typical application first constructs an instance of this class,
 * sets up the syntax tables, and then repeatedly loops calling the
 * <code>nextToken</code> method in each iteration of the loop until
 * it returns the value <code>TT_EOF</code>.
