// .NAME vtkDocumentReader - Reads documents into memory for text analysis.
//
// .SECTION Description
// Reads zero-to-many documents into memory, producing a vtkTable suitable
// for use as an input to other VTK text analysis filters.
//
// Parameters:
//   "Files": a collection of filesystem paths to be loaded.
//
// Outputs:
//   Output port 0: A vtkTable containing "document", "uri", and "content" columns.
//
// The output "document" column will contain a zero-based integer document index;
// "uri" will contain the filepath to the document formatted as a file:// URI;
// "contents" will contain the binary contents of the document.
//
// .SECTION Caveats
// As a workaround, vtkDocumentReader stores the contents of each document
// in the "contents" column, which is a vtkStdString array.  Note that the
// contents of a document may actually be binary data, so check the MIME-Type
// before treating the contents as a string.
//
// .SECTION Thanks
// Developed by Timothy M. Shead (tshead@sandia.gov) at Sandia National Laboratories.
