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