This class converts byte arrays to
character arrays using the encoding
class from which it was constructed (a decoder is returned by the
GetDecoder( ) method of an
Encoding subclass). Decoder
saves its state between calls to GetChars( ), so
leftover bytes from previous input byte arrays are remembered and
used in subsequent calls.
