/**
 * A StraightStreamReader is a bridge from byte streams to character streams: It reads bytes
 * and translates them into characters without using a character encoding.  The characters
 * that a StraightStreamReader returns may not be valid Unicode characters but they are
 * guaranteed to be in the 0x00 to 0xFF range.
 * More information about this class is available from <a target="_top" href=
 * "http://ostermiller.org/utils/StraightStreamReader.html">ostermiller.org</a>.
 * <P>
 * Most of the time you want to do character encoding translation when translating bytes to
 * characters.  If you are planning on displaying the text, you should always do this and should
 * use an InputStreamReader for the purpose.  Sometimes it is useful to treat characters as bytes
 * with some extra bits.  In these cases you would want to use a StraightStreamReader.
 * <P>
 * For top efficiency, consider wrapping an StraightStreamReader within a BufferedReader. For example:<br>
 * <code>BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new StraightStreamReader(System.in));</code>
