/**
 * A ReaderCloner specialized for CharArrayReader.

 * The only efficient mean of retrieving the original content
 * from a CharArrayReader is to use introspection and access the
 * {@code private String str} field.
 * <p/>
 * Apart from being efficient, this code is also very sensitive
 * to the used JVM implementation.
 * If the introspection does not work, an {@link IllegalArgumentException}
 * is thrown.
