- the construction of compound tokens is now split into two stages:
- default construct
- read contents
This permits a larger variety of handling.
- the new token::readCompoundToken(..) method allows for simpler
more failsafe invocations.
- forward resize(), read() methods for compound tokens to support
separate read and population.
Top-level refCompoundToken() method for modify access.
ENH: split off a private readCompoundToken() method within ISstream
- this allows overloading and alternative tokenisation handling for
derived classes
- read/write lists of character data in binary only.
This is the only means of preserving data.
If character data are written as an ASCII list, there is no means of
determining if spaces or newlines are content or separators.
