/**
  * This class permits a <code>String</code> to be read as an input stream.
  * The low eight bits of each character in the <code>String</code> are the
  * bytes that are returned. The high eight bits of each character are
  * discarded.
  * <p>
  * The mark/reset functionality in this class behaves differently than
  * normal.  The <code>mark()</code> method is always ignored and the 
  * <code>reset()</code> method always resets in stream to start reading from 
  * position 0 in the String.  Note that since this method does not override 
  * <code>markSupported()</code> in <code>InputStream</code>, calling that 
  * method will return <code>false</code>.
  * <p>
  * Note that this class is deprecated because it does not properly handle
  * 16-bit Java characters.  It is provided for backwards compatibility only
  * and should not be used for new development.  The <code>StringReader</code>
  * class should be used instead.
  *
  * @deprecated
