--  This package provides a procedure for reading and interpreting the BOM
--  (byte order mark) used to publish the encoding method for a string (for
--  example, a UTF-8 encoded file in windows will start with the appropriate
--  BOM sequence to signal UTF-8 encoding.
 
--  There are two cases
 
--    Case 1. UTF encodings for Unicode files
 
--      Here the convention is to have the first character of the file be a
--      non-breaking zero width space character (16#0000_FEFF#). For the UTF
--      encodings, the representation of this character can be used to uniquely
--      determine the encoding. Furthermore, the possibility of any confusion
--      with unencoded files is minimal, since for example the UTF-8 encoding
--      of this character looks like the sequence:
 
--        LC_I_Diaeresis
--        Right_Angle_Quotation
--        Fraction_One_Half
 
--      which is so unlikely to occur legitimately in normal use that it can
--      safely be ignored in most cases (for example, no legitimate Ada source
--      file could start with this sequence of characters).
 
--   Case 2. Specialized XML encodings
 
--     The XML standard defines a number of other possible encodings and also
--     defines standardized sequences for marking these encodings. This package
--     can also optionally handle these XML defined BOM sequences. These XML
--     cases depend on the first character of the XML file being < so that the
--     encoding of this character can be recognized.

   --  This is the routine to read the BOM from the start of the given string
   --  Str. On return BOM is set to the appropriate BOM_Kind and Len is set to
   --  its length. The caller will typically skip the first Len characters in
   --  the string to ignore the BOM sequence. The special XML possibilities are
   --  recognized only if flag XML_Support is set to True. Note that for the
   --  XML cases, Len is always set to zero on return (not to the length of the
   --  relevant sequence) since in the XML cases, the sequence recognized is
   --  for the first real character in the file (<) which is not to be skipped.
