/**
* Basic mechanism for reading in Documents from various input sources.
* This default implementation can read from strings, files, URLs, and
* InputStreams and can use a given Tokenizer to turn the text into words.
* When working with a new data format, make a new DocumentReader to parse it
* and then use it with the existing Document APIs (rather than having to make
* new Document classes). Use the protected class variables (in, tokenizer,
* keepOriginalText) to read text and create docs appropriately. Subclasses should
* ideally provide similar constructors to this class, though only the constructor
* that takes a Reader is required.
