Comment(by mevenson):

For #13 I looked at FileStream.java . If the _setFilePosition is required even for character streams, I think there is no easy and safe way to implement multiple encoding handling. But since abcl can read from network connections, on which you can't do random access, I believe there is a way to keep the seeking requirement out of the way of character (non-binary) streams.
