/**
* 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>
