    /// If a SAX parser provides location information to the SAX application, it does so by
    /// implementing this interface and then passing an instance to the application using the
    /// content handler's setDocumentLocator method. The application can use the object to obtain
    /// the location of any other SAX event in the XML source document.
    ///
    /// Note that the results returned by the object will be valid only during the scope of each
    /// callback method: the application will receive unpredictable results if it attempts to use
    /// the locator at any other time, or after parsing completes.
    ///
    /// SAX parsers are not required to supply a locator, but they are very strongly encouraged to
    /// do so. If the parser supplies a locator, it must do so before reporting any other document
    /// events. If no locator has been set by the time the application receives the startDocument event,
    /// the application should assume that a locator is not available.
