Alternatively, BufferedReader could define an empty package
method called e.g.

    void endOfLine() { };

that LineNumberReader could override to increment lineNumber.

So:

  351                         if (term != null) term.set(true);

would simply become

  351                         endOfLine();

which would be a no-op for BufferedReader but would increment
lineNumber for LineNumberReader.

Wouldn't that work too?

best regards
