An InverseFilterReader would do exactly the opposite of a specified FilterReader. For example, the StripJavaComments FilterReader in Ant strips away Java comments. An InverseFilterReader wrapping a StripJavaComments FilterReader would strip away everything BUT Java comments. I think implementation might be any of tricky, slow, or memory-intensive, but the number of existing FilterReaders would be instantly doubled if this class were written.
