+# BufferedTokenizer takes a delimiter upon instantiation, or acts line-based
+# by default.  It allows input to be spoon-fed from some outside source which
+# receives arbitrary length datagrams which may-or-may-not contain the token
+# by which entities are delimited.
+
+class BufferedTokenizer
+  # New BufferedTokenizers will operate on lines delimited by "\n" by default
+  # or allow you to specify any delimiter token you so choose, which will then
+  # be used by String#split to tokenize the input data
+  def initialize(delimiter = "\n", size_limit = nil)
+    # Store the specified delimiter
+    @delimiter = delimiter
+
+    # Store the specified size limitation
+    @size_limit = size_limit
+
+    # The input buffer is stored as an array.  This is by far the most efficient
+    # approach given language constraints (in C a linked list would be a more
+    # appropriate data structure).  Segments of input data are stored in a list
+    # which is only joined when a token is reached, substantially reducing the
+    # number of objects required for the operation.
+    @input = []
+
+    # Size of the input buffer
+    @input_size = 0
+  end
+
+  # Extract takes an arbitrary string of input data and returns an array of
+  # tokenized entities, provided there were any available to extract.  This
+  # makes for easy processing of datagrams using a pattern like:
+  #
+  #   tokenizer.extract(data).map { |entity| Decode(entity) }.each do ...
+  def extract(data)
+    # Extract token-delimited entities from the input string with the split command.
+    # There's a bit of craftiness here with the -1 parameter.  Normally split would
+    # behave no differently regardless of if the token lies at the very end of the 
+    # input buffer or not (i.e. a literal edge case)  Specifying -1 forces split to
+    # return "" in this case, meaning that the last entry in the list represents a
+    # new segment of data where the token has not been encountered
+    entities = data.split @delimiter, -1
+
+    # Check to see if the buffer has exceeded capacity, if we're imposing a limit
+    if @size_limit
+      raise 'input buffer full' if @input_size + entities.first.size > @size_limit
+      @input_size += entities.first.size
+    end
+    
+    # Move the first entry in the resulting array into the input buffer.  It represents
+    # the last segment of a token-delimited entity unless it's the only entry in the list.
+    @input << entities.shift
+
+    # If the resulting array from the split is empty, the token was not encountered
+    # (not even at the end of the buffer).  Since we've encountered no token-delimited
+    # entities this go-around, return an empty array.
+    return [] if entities.empty?
+
+    # At this point, we've hit a token, or potentially multiple tokens.  Now we can bring

+    # and add it to our list of discovered entities.

+	# Note added by FC, 10Jul07. This paragraph contains a regression. It breaks
+	# empty tokens. Think of the empty line that delimits an HTTP header. It will have

+	# It someone figures out how to fix the problem, we can re-enable this code branch.
+    # Multi-character token support.
