> This is a patch which adds significant modifications to the ExtendedBufferedReader.
> The problem is that efficient CSV parsing requires *byte positioning*, not character positioning as currently provided.
> The cases where byte positioning is necessary:
> * Suspend/resume parsing
> * Pagination/split where a large CSV file is read in chunks using file positioning.
> I've found the ExtendedBufferedReader to be unable to manage bytes in its current state (relying on BufferedReader and characters), so instead I had to redesign/merge these two classes.
> This modification is what we use in our system, so I'm hoping to get it released (otherwise we have to deal with custom build of Commons CSV).
> Architecturally the solution might be incomplete, however it provides what I need - getBytePosition() from a CSVParser. The entire chain only works if you provide a Reader AND a charset!
