-"""The Reader classes return high-level content structures from files.
-
-The Reader fulfills two purposes:
-    First, it brokers between multiple libraries and file formats.
-    Second, it separates multiple aspects of a file into distinct content types.
-
-Part of the bsie module.
-A copy of the license is provided with the project.
