/**
 * MODULE NOTES:
 * @update  gess 4/1/98
 * 
 * The scanner is a low-level service class that knows
 * how to consume characters out of an (internal) stream.
 * This class also offers a series of utility methods
 * that most tokenizers want, such as readUntil(), 
 * readWhile() and SkipWhitespace().
