The J2SE 1.3 API spec says that count is the number of valid characters in the
buffer. That's misleading since it's actually used for the "end of buffer" index.
You can see that by defining a class CARI that extends CharArrayReader,
and then creating a new CARI like this:

CARI c = new CARI(new char[5], 4, 0);

c.count is 4 and not zero, as "number of valid characters" implies. Clarify what
valid means in the context.
