+/**
+ * Provides Base64 encoding and decoding as defined by RFC 2045.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * This class implements section <cite>6.8. Base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding</cite> from RFC 2045 <cite>Multipurpose
+ * Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part One: Format of Internet Message Bodies</cite> by Freed and Borenstein.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * The class can be parameterized in the following manner with various constructors:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>URL-safe mode: Default off.</li>
+ * <li>Line length: Default 76. Line length that aren't multiples of 4 will still essentially end up being multiples of
+ * 4 in the encoded data.
+ * <li>Line separator: Default is CRLF ("\r\n")</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Since this class operates directly on byte streams, and not character streams, it is hard-coded to only encode/decode
+ * character encodings which are compatible with the lower 127 ASCII chart (ISO-8859-1, Windows-1252, UTF-8, etc).
+ * </p>
