/**
 * Provides access to the content of a module.
 *
 * <p> A module reader is intended for cases where access to the resources in a
 * module is required, regardless of whether the module has been loaded.
 * A framework that scans a collection of packaged modules on the file system,
 * for example, may use a module reader to access a specific resource in each
 * module. A module reader is also intended to be used by {@code ClassLoader}
 * implementations that load classes and resources from modules. </p>
 *
 * <p> A resource in a module is identified by an abstract name that is a
 * '{@code /}'-separated path string. For example, module {@code java.base} may
 * have a resource "{@code java/lang/Object.class}" that, by convention, is the
 * class file for {@code java.lang.Object}. A module reader may treat
 * directories in the module content as resources (whether it does or not is
 * module reader specific). Where the module content contains a directory
 * that can be located as a resource then its name ends with a slash ('/'). The
 * directory can also be located with a name that drops the trailing slash. </p>
 *
 * <p> A {@code ModuleReader} is {@linkplain ModuleReference#open open} upon
 * creation and is closed by invoking the {@link #close close} method.  Failure
 * to close a module reader may result in a resource leak.  The {@code
 * try-with-resources} statement provides a useful construct to ensure that
 * module readers are closed. </p>
 *
 * <p> A {@code ModuleReader} implementation may require permissions to access
 * resources in the module. Consequently the {@link #find find}, {@link #open
 * open}, {@link #read read}, and {@link #list list} methods may throw {@code
 * SecurityException} if access is denied by the security manager. </p>
 *
 * @implSpec Implementations of {@code ModuleReader} should take great care
 * when translating an abstract resource name to the location of a resource in
 * a packaged module or on the file system. Implementations are advised to
 * treat resource names with elements such as '{@code .},  '{@code ..}',
 * elements containing file separators, or empty elements as "not found". More
 * generally, if the resource name is not in the stream of elements that the
 * {@code list} method returns then the resource should be treated as "not
 * found" to avoid inconsistencies.
