//       Class : StringDecoder
// Description : The base class to a family of classes that decode
//               various kinds of encoded byte streams.  Give it a
//               string, then ask it to pull the characters out one at
//               a time.  This also serves as the plain old
//               byte-at-a-time decoder.
