Operations on CharSet instances.

This class handles null input gracefully. An exception will not be thrown for a null input. Each method documents its behaviour in more detail.

CharSetUtils instances should NOT be constructed in standard programming. Instead, the class should be used as CharSetUtils.evaluateSet(null);.

This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean instance to operate.
