    public abstract class CharStream

extends Reader

CharStream adds `correctOffset(int)` functionality over `Reader`. All Tokenizers accept a CharStream instead of `Reader` as input, which enables arbitrary character based filtering before tokenization. The `correctOffset(int)` method fixed offsets to account for removal or insertion of characters, so that the offsets reported in the tokens match the character offsets of the original Reader.
