-/** 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
+ * [[scala.io.Source@withPositioning(pos:Source.this.Positioner):Source.this.type custom positioner]].
