some input for further io development. http://www.freeroller.net/page/fate/20040527#commons_io_by_retards_for
4 points I think: 1) Writer doesn't like true/false filters. basically the Null pattern. Nothing bad here I reckon. 2) Writer doesn't like the And/Or lego style of filters. I like this lego style for comparators, but admit I don't do enough filter-ing to use them in Filters. Still, he mainly is against the lego style I think, so again, nothing to worry about. 3) DeferredOutputStream is pointless. Would be interesting to hear Martin's view on his statement here. 4) IOUtils.toByteArray. Couple of things here, one that it's a method created for symmetry which is better served by the JDK; two that IO lacks encoding consideration.
