39   * Extension of the {@link TokenizerSource} interface and the {@link java.lang.CharSequence}
40   * interface that was introduced in J2SE 1.4. The <code>CharSequence</code>
41   * interface provides a safe way to access character data for reading without 
42   * exposing internal buffers or copying. The drawback is that it is only available
43   * with Java versions from 1.4, while there are still lots of Java 1.3 and even
44   * older environments in use.
45   *</p><p>
46   * While implementations of this interface can be used by all {@link Tokenizer},
47   * specialized tokenizers can take advantage of the generally faster methods 
48   * provided by the <code>CharSequence</code> interface.
