/**
  * This class merges a sequence of multiple <code>InputStream</code>'s in

  * that expect only one stream.
  * <p>
  * The streams passed to the constructor method are read in order until
  * they return -1 to indicate they are at end of stream.  When a stream
  * reports end of stream, it is closed, then the next stream is read.
  * When the last stream is closed, the next attempt to read from this
  * stream will return a -1 to indicate it is at end of stream.
  * <p>
  * If this stream is closed prior to all subordinate streams being read
  * to completion, all subordinate streams are closed.
