    031/**
    032 * Tokenizes a string based on delimiters (separators) and supporting quoting and ignored character concepts.
    033 * <p>
    034 * This class can split a String into many smaller strings. It aims to do a similar job to
    035 * {@link java.util.StringTokenizer StringTokenizer}, however it offers much more control and flexibility including
    036 * implementing the {@code ListIterator} interface. By default, it is set up like {@code StringTokenizer}.
    037 * <p>
    038 * The input String is split into a number of <i>tokens</i>. Each token is separated from the next String by a
    039 * <i>delimiter</i>. One or more delimiter characters must be specified.
    040 * <p>
    041 * Each token may be surrounded by quotes. The <i>quote</i> matcher specifies the quote character(s). A quote may be
    042 * escaped within a quoted section by duplicating itself.
    043 * <p>
    044 * Between each token and the delimiter are potentially characters that need trimming. The <i>trimmer</i> matcher
    045 * specifies these characters. One usage might be to trim whitespace characters.
    046 * <p>
    047 * At any point outside the quotes there might potentially be invalid characters. The <i>ignored</i> matcher specifies
    048 * these characters to be removed. One usage might be to remove new line characters.
    049 * <p>
    050 * Empty tokens may be removed or returned as null.
    051 *
    052 * <pre>
    053 * "a,b,c"         - Three tokens "a","b","c"   (comma delimiter)
    054 * " a, b , c "    - Three tokens "a","b","c"   (default CSV processing trims whitespace)
    055 * "a, ", b ,", c" - Three tokens "a, " , " b ", ", c" (quoted text untouched)
