/**
 * A functional, light weight {@link Reader} that emulates
 * a reader of a specified size.
 * <p>
 * This implementation provides a light weight
 * object for testing with an {@link Reader}
 * where the contents don't matter.
 * <p>
 * One use case would be for testing the handling of
 * large {@link Reader} as it can emulate that
 * scenario without the overhead of actually processing
 * large numbers of characters - significantly speeding up
 * test execution times.
 * <p>
 * This implementation returns a space from the method that
 * reads a character and leaves the array unchanged in the read
 * methods that are passed a character array.
 * If alternative data is required the <code>processChar() and
 * <code>processChars() methods can be implemented to generate
 * data, for example:
 *
 * <pre>
 *  public class TestReader extends NullReader {
 *      public TestReader(int size) {
 *          super(size);
 *      }
 *      protected char processChar() {
 *          return ... // return required value here
 *      }
 *      protected void processChars(char[] chars, int offset, int length) {
 *          for (int i = offset; i < length; i++) {
 *              chars[i] = ... // set array value here
 *          }
 *      }
 *  }
 * </pre>
