 * Subclasses of CharFilter can be chained to filter a Reader
 * They can be used as {@link java.io.Reader} with additional offset
 * correction. {@link Tokenizer}s will automatically use {@link #correctOffset}
 * if a CharFilter subclass is used.
 * <p>
 * This class is abstract: at a minimum you must implement {@link #read(char[], int, int)},
 * transforming the input in some way from {@link #input}, and {@link #correct(int)}
 * to adjust the offsets to match the originals.
 * <p>
 * You can optionally provide more efficient implementations of additional methods 
 * like {@link #read()}, {@link #read(char[])}, {@link #read(java.nio.CharBuffer)},
 * but this is not required.
 * <p>
 * For examples and integration with {@link Analyzer}, see the 
 * {@link org.apache.lucene.analysis Analysis package documentation}.
