/**
 * <p>
 * <code>SmartEncodingInputStream</code> extends an <code>InputStream</code> with a special
 * constructor and a special method for dealing with text files encoded within different charsets.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * It surrounds a normal <code>InputStream</code> whatever it may be (<code>FileInputStream</code>...). It reads a
 * buffer of a defined length. Then with this byte buffer, it uses the class
 * <code>CharsetToolkit</code> to parse this buffer and guess what the encoding is. All this steps
 * are done within the constructor. At this time, you can call the method <code>getReader()</code> to retrieve a
 * <code>Reader</code> created with the good charset, as guessed while parsing the first bytes of the file. This
 * <code>Reader</code> reads inside the <code>SmartEncodingInputStream</code>. It reads first in
 * the internal buffer, then when we reach the end of the buffer, the underlying InputStream is read with the default
 * read method.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Usage:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(&quot;utf-8.txt&quot;);
 * SmartEncodingInputStream smartIS = new SmartEncodingInputStream(fis);
 * Reader reader = smartIS.getReader();
 * BufferedReader bufReader = new BufferedReader(reader);
 *
 * String line;
 * while ((line = bufReader.readLine()) != null) {
 *   System.out.println(line);
 * }
