> We should support byte order marks to detect automatically unicode files and
> parse them with the appropriate encoding. Here is a description of BOMs:
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark
> I suggest the following changes:
> - add a setUseByteOrderMark() method in FileConfiguration to specify if the BOM
> should be added when the file is saved
> - the useByteOrderMark flag is ignored if the encoding has no corresponding BOM
> - on loading the file, look for a BOM at the beginning of the file and set the
> useByteOrderMark flag to true and switch to the corresponding encoding. The flag
> is set to false by default
