+ReInitialize()
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Import classes are substantiated only once and are used as needed.
+This means that if something needs to be initialized before the
+``Reader()`` will be called to read a new file, it must be coded. The
+``ReInitialize()`` method is provided for this and it is always called
+before the ``ContentsValidator`` method is called. Use care to call
+the parent class ``ReInitialize()`` method, if this is overridden.

 ContentsValidator return values
