    6    * This interface describes a character stream that maintains line and
    7    * column number positions of the characters.  It also has the capability
    8    * to backup the stream to some extent.  An implementation of this
    9    * interface is used in the TokenManager implementation generated by
    10   * JavaCCParser.
    11   *
    12   * All the methods except backup can be implemented in any fashion. backup
    13   * needs to be implemented correctly for the correct operation of the lexer.
    14   * Rest of the methods are all used to get information like line number,
    15   * column number and the String that constitutes a token and are not used
    16   * by the lexer. Hence their implementation won't affect the generated lexer's
    17   * operation.
