      public abstract class ProxyReader
      extends FilterReader

  A Proxy stream which acts as expected, that is it passes the method calls on to the proxied stream and doesn't change which methods are being called.

  It is an alternative base class to FilterReader to increase reusability, because FilterReader changes the methods being called, such as read(char[]) to read(char[], int, int).

    - #### beforeRead

          protected void beforeRead(int n)
                             throws IOException

      Invoked by the read methods before the call is proxied. The number of chars that the caller wanted to read (1 for the `read()` method, buffer length for `read(char[])`, etc.) is given as an argument.

      Subclasses can override this method to add common pre-processing functionality without having to override all the read methods. The default implementation does nothing.

      Note this method is not called from `skip(long)` or `reset()`. You need to explicitly override those methods if you want to add pre-processing steps also to them.

      Parameters:
        `n` - number of chars that the caller asked to be read
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if the pre-processing fails
      Since:
        2.0

    - #### afterRead

          protected void afterRead(int n)
                            throws IOException

      Invoked by the read methods after the proxied call has returned successfully. The number of chars returned to the caller (or -1 if the end of stream was reached) is given as an argument.

      Subclasses can override this method to add common post-processing functionality without having to override all the read methods. The default implementation does nothing.

      Note this method is not called from `skip(long)` or `reset()`. You need to explicitly override those methods if you want to add post-processing steps also to them.

      Parameters:
        `n` - number of chars read, or -1 if the end of stream was reached
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if the post-processing fails
      Since:
        2.0

    - #### handleIOException

          protected void handleIOException(IOException e)
                                    throws IOException

      Handle any IOExceptions thrown.

      This method provides a point to implement custom exception handling. The default behavior is to re-throw the exception.

      Parameters:
        `e` - The IOException thrown
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs
      Since:
        2.0
