* Gets the value of the symbol at offset {@code i} from the current

* {@code i==-1}, this method returns the value of the previously read
* symbol in the stream. It is not valid to call this method with
* {@code i==0}, but the specific behavior is unspecified because this
* method is frequently called from performance-critical code.
*
* This method is guaranteed to succeed if any of the following are true:
*
*
* - {@code i>0}
* - {@code i==-1} and {@link #index index()} returns a value greater
* than the value of {@code index()} after the stream was constructed
* and {@code LA(1)} was called in that order. Specifying the current
* {@code index()} relative to the index after the stream was created
* allows for filtering implementations that do not return every symbol
* from the underlying source. Specifying the call to {@code LA(1)}
* allows for lazily initialized streams.
* - {@code LA(i)} refers to a symbol consumed within a marked region
* that has not yet been released.
*
*
* If {@code i} represents a position at or beyond the end of the stream,
* this method returns {@link #EOF}.
*
* The return value is unspecified if {@code i<0} and fewer than {@code -i}
* calls to {@link #consume consume()} have occurred from the beginning of
* the stream before calling this method.

* @throws UnsupportedOperationException if the stream does not support
* retrieving the value of the specified symbol

/**
* A mark provides a guarantee that {@link #seek seek()} operations will be
* valid over a "marked range" extending from the index where {@code mark()}
* was called to the current {@link #index index()}. This allows the use of
* streaming input sources by specifying the minimum buffering requirements
* to support arbitrary lookahead during prediction.
*
* The returned mark is an opaque handle (type {@code int}) which is passed
* to {@link #release release()} when the guarantees provided by the marked
* range are no longer necessary. When calls to
* {@code mark()}/{@code release()} are nested, the marks must be released
* in reverse order of which they were obtained. Since marked regions are
* used during performance-critical sections of prediction, the specific
* behavior of invalid usage is unspecified (i.e. a mark is not released, or
* a mark is released twice, or marks are not released in reverse order from
* which they were created).
*
* The behavior of this method is unspecified if no call to an
* {@link IntStream initializing method} has occurred after this stream was
* constructed.
*
* This method does not change the current position in the input stream.
*
* The following example shows the use of {@link #mark mark()},
* {@link #release release(mark)}, {@link #index index()}, and
* {@link #seek seek(index)} as part of an operation to safely work within a
* marked region, then restore the stream position to its original value and
* release the mark.
*

* int index = -1;

* @return An opaque marker which should be passed to
* {@link #release release()} when the marked range is no longer required.
