Nope, it was not discussed in public, but we had a good deal of discussion
between me, Daniele and Simone about it.
The main reason for rolling a similar interface is that FeatureSource is
quite a bit larger, and we wanted to make sure implementing it
was as easy as possible: notable missing stuff is support for listeners,
query capabilities, access to a data store, various overloaded
methods for getFeature, and hints support.
Also, the granule source has a dispose method for cleanups that
FeatureSource does not have.
