-/** The class `Source` implements an iterable representation of source data.

+/** An iterable representation of source data.
+ *  It may be reset with the optional `reset` method.
+ *
+ *  Subclasses must supply [[scala.io.Source@iter the underlying iterator]].
+ *
+ *  Error handling may be customized by overriding the [[scala.io.Source@report report]] method.
+ *
+ *  The [[scala.io.Source@ch current input]] and [[scala.io.Source@pos position]],
+ *  as well as the [[scala.io.Source@next next character]] methods delegate to
+ *  [[scala.io.Source$Positioner the positioner]].
+ *
+ *  The default positioner encodes line and column numbers in the position passed to `report`.
+ *  This behavior can be changed by supplying a
