/**
 * An Iterator over the lines in a <code>Reader</code>.
 * <p>
 * <code>LineIterator</code> holds a reference to an open <code>Reader</code>.
 * When you have finished with the iterator you should close the reader
 * to free internal resources. This can be done by closing the reader directly,
 * or by calling the {@link #close()} or {@link #closeQuietly(LineIterator)}
 * method on the iterator.
 * <p>
 * The recommended usage pattern is:
 * <pre>
 * LineIterator it = FileUtils.lineIterator(file, "UTF-8");
 * try {
 *   while (it.hasNext()) {
 *     String line = it.nextLine();
 *     /// do something with line
 *   }
 * } finally {
 *   LineIterator.closeQuietly(iterator);
 * }
 * </pre>
