/**
 * Tokenizes a string based on delimiters (separators)
 * and supporting quoting and ignored character concepts.
 * <p>
 * This class can split a String into many smaller strings. It aims
 * to do a similar job to {@link java.util.StringTokenizer StringTokenizer},
 * however it offers much more control and flexibility including implementing
 * the {@link ListIterator} interface. By default, it is set up
 * like {@link StringTokenizer}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The input String is split into a number of <em>tokens</em>.
 * Each token is separated from the next String by a <em>delimiter</em>.
 * One or more delimiter characters must be specified.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Each token may be surrounded by quotes.
 * The <em>quote</em> matcher specifies the quote character(s).
 * A quote may be escaped within a quoted section by duplicating itself.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Between each token and the delimiter are potentially characters that need trimming.
 * The <em>trimmer</em> matcher specifies these characters.
 * One usage might be to trim whitespace characters.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * At any point outside the quotes there might potentially be invalid characters.
 * The <em>ignored</em> matcher specifies these characters to be removed.
 * One usage might be to remove new line characters.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Empty tokens may be removed or returned as null.
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * "a,b,c"         - Three tokens "a","b","c"   (comma delimiter)
 * " a, b , c "    - Three tokens "a","b","c"   (default CSV processing trims whitespace)
 * "a, ", b ,", c" - Three tokens "a, " , " b ", ", c" (quoted text untouched)
 * </pre>
