/**
 * Splits delimited string into tokens.
 *
 * The StringTokenizer takes a pointer to a string and a pointer
 * to a string containing a number of possible delimiters.
 * The StringTokenizer provides an input forward iterator which allows
 * to iterate through all tokens. An iterator behaves like a logical
 * pointer to the tokens, i.e. to shift to the next token, you've
 * to increment the iterator, you get the token by dereferencing the
 * iterator.
 *
 * Memory consumption:
 * This class operates on the original string and only allocates memory
 * for the individual tokens actually requested, so this class
 * allocates at maximum the space required for the longest token in the
 * given string.
 * Since for each iteration, memory is reclaimed for the last token,
 * you MAY NOT store pointers to them; if you need them afterwards,
 * copy them. You may not modify the original string while you operate
 * on it with the StringTokenizer; the behaviour is undefined in that
 * case.
 *
 * The iterator has one special method 'nextDelimiter()' which returns
 * a character containing the next delimiter following this
 * tokenization process or '\\0', if there are no following delimiters. In
 * case of skipAllDelim, it returns the FIRST delimiter.
 *
 * With the method 'setDelimiters(const char*)' you may change the
 * set of delimiters. It affects all running iterators.
 *
 * Example:
 * <code><pre>
 *  StringTokenizer st("mary had a little lamb;its fleece was..", " ;");
 *  StringTokenizer::iterator i;
 *  for (i = st.begin() ; i != st.end() ; ++i) {
 *        cout << "Token: '" << *i << "'\t";
 *        cout << " next Delim: '" << i.nextDelimiter() << "'" << endl;
 *  }
 *  </pre></code>
