<H2>Description</H2>
<P>
A Peekable <A HREF="device.html">Device</A> allows a character read from the input sequence to be putback.
</P>
<P>
The name of the concept is based on the observation that a PeekableDevice allow the user to peek at the first character in the sequence it controls by calling <A HREF="../functions/get.html"><CODE>get</CODE></A> or <A HREF="../functions/read.html"><CODE>read</CODE></A> followed by <A HREF="../functions/putback.html"><CODE>putback</CODE></A>. The names Putbackable and InputRevertable were considered but rejected.
