// StringTokenizerT is a simple string tokenizer class.  It works like an
// iterator that with each step (see the Advance method) updates members that
// refer to the next token in the input string.  The user may optionally
// configure the tokenizer to return delimiters.
//
// EXAMPLE 1:
//
//   char input[] = "this is a test";
//   CStringTokenizer t(input, input + strlen(input), " ");
//   while (t.GetNext()) {
//     printf("%s\n", t.token().c_str());
//   }
//
// Output:
//
//   this
//   is
//   a
//   test
//
//
// EXAMPLE 2:
//
//   std::string input = "no-cache=\"foo, bar\", private";
//   StringTokenizer t(input, ", ");
//   t.set_quote_chars("\"");
//   while (t.GetNext()) {
//     printf("%s\n", t.token().c_str());
//   }
//
// Output:
//
//   no-cache="foo, bar"
//   private
//
//
// EXAMPLE 3:
//
//   bool next_is_option = false, next_is_value = false;
//   std::string input = "text/html; charset=UTF-8; foo=bar";
//   StringTokenizer t(input, "; =");
//   t.set_options(StringTokenizer::RETURN_DELIMS);
//   while (t.GetNext()) {
//     if (t.token_is_delim()) {
//       switch (*t.token_begin()) {
//         case ';':
//           next_is_option = true;
//           break;
//         case '=':
//           next_is_value = true;
//           break;
//       }
//     } else {
//       const char* label;
//       if (next_is_option) {
//         label = "option-name";
//         next_is_option = false;
//       } else if (next_is_value) {
//         label = "option-value";
//         next_is_value = false;
//       } else {
//         label = "mime-type";
//       }
//       printf("%s: %s\n", label, t.token().c_str());
