/**
 * A simple stream of symbols whose values are represented as integers. This
 * interface provides *marked ranges* with support for a minimum level
 * of buffering necessary to implement arbitrary lookahead during prediction.
 * For more information on marked ranges, see {@link #mark}.
 *
 * **Initializing Methods:** Some methods in this interface have
 * unspecified behavior if no call to an initializing method has occurred after
 * the stream was constructed. The following is a list of initializing methods:
 *
 *   - {@link #LA}
 *   - {@link #consume}
 *   - {@link #size}

     *   - **Forward movement:** The value of {@link IntStream.index}
     *		before calling this method is less than the value of `index()`
     *		after calling this method.
     *   - **Ordered lookahead:** The value of `LA(1)` before
     *		calling this method becomes the value of `LA(-1)` after calling
     *		this method.
     *
     * Note that calling this method does not guarantee that `index()` is
     * incremented by exactly 1, as that would preclude the ability to implement
     * filtering streams (e.g. {@link CommonTokenStream} which distinguishes
     * between "on-channel" and "off-channel" tokens).

     * Gets the value of the symbol at offset `i` from the current
     * position. When `i==1`, this method returns the value of the current

     * `i==-1`, this method returns the value of the previously read
     * symbol in the stream. It is not valid to call this method with
     * `i==0`, but the specific behavior is unspecified because this
     * method is frequently called from performance-critical code.
     *
     * This method is guaranteed to succeed if any of the following are true:
     *
     *   - `i>0`
     *   - `i==-1` and {@link index()} returns a value greater
     *     than the value of `index()` after the stream was constructed
     *     and `LA(1)` was called in that order. Specifying the current
     *     `index()` relative to the index after the stream was created
     *     allows for filtering implementations that do not return every symbol
     *     from the underlying source. Specifying the call to `LA(1)`
     *     allows for lazily initialized streams.
     *   - `LA(i)` refers to a symbol consumed within a marked region
     *     that has not yet been released.
     *
     * If `i` represents a position at or beyond the end of the stream,
     * this method returns {@link EOF}.
     *
     * The return value is unspecified if `i<0` and fewer than `-i`
     * calls to {@link consume()} have occurred from the beginning of
     * the stream before calling this method.

     * streaming input sources by specifying the minimum buffering requirements
     * to support arbitrary lookahead during prediction.
     *
     * The returned mark is an opaque handle (type `int`) which is passed
     * to {@link release()} when the guarantees provided by the marked
     * range are no longer necessary. When calls to
     * `mark()`/`release()` are nested, the marks must be released
     * in reverse order of which they were obtained. Since marked regions are
     * used during performance-critical sections of prediction, the specific
     * behavior of invalid usage is unspecified (i.e. a mark is not released, or
