/**
 * General IO Stream manipulation.
 * <p>
 * This class provides static utility methods for input/output operations, particularly buffered
 * copying between sources (<code>InputStream</code>, <code>Reader</code>, <code>String</code> and
 * <code>byte[]</code>) and destinations (<code>OutputStream</code>, <code>Writer</code>,
 * <code>String</code> and <code>byte[]</code>).
 * </p>
 * <p/>
 * <p>Unless otherwise noted, these <code>copy</code> methods do <em>not</em> flush or close the
 * streams. Often, doing so would require making non-portable assumptions about the streams' origin
 * and further use. This means that both streams' <code>close()</code> methods must be called after
 * copying. if one omits this step, then the stream resources (sockets, file descriptors) are
 * released when the associated Stream is garbage-collected. It is not a good idea to rely on this
 * mechanism. For a good overview of the distinction between "memory management" and "resource
 * management", see <a href="http://www.unixreview.com/articles/1998/9804/9804ja/ja.htm">this
 * UnixReview article</a></p>
 * <p/>
 * <p>For each <code>copy</code> method, a variant is provided that allows the caller to specify the
 * buffer size (the default is 4k). As the buffer size can have a fairly large impact on speed, this
 * may be worth tweaking. Often "large buffer -&gt; faster" does not hold, even for large data
 * transfers.</p>
 * <p/>
 * <p>For byte-to-char methods, a <code>copy</code> variant allows the encoding to be selected
 * (otherwise the platform default is used).</p>
 * <p/>
 * <p>The <code>copy</code> methods use an internal buffer when copying. It is therefore advisable
 * <em>not</em> to deliberately wrap the stream arguments to the <code>copy</code> methods in
 * <code>Buffered*</code> streams. For example, don't do the
 * following:</p>
 * <p/>
 * <code>copy( new BufferedInputStream( in ), new BufferedOutputStream( out ) );</code>
 * <p/>
 * <p>The rationale is as follows:</p>
 * <p/>
 * <p>Imagine that an InputStream's read() is a very expensive operation, which would usually suggest
 * wrapping in a BufferedInputStream. The BufferedInputStream works by issuing infrequent
 * {@link java.io.InputStream#read(byte[] b, int off, int len)} requests on the underlying InputStream, to
 * fill an internal buffer, from which further <code>read</code> requests can inexpensively get
 * their data (until the buffer runs out).</p>
 * <p>However, the <code>copy</code> methods do the same thing, keeping an internal buffer,
 * populated by {@link InputStream#read(byte[] b, int off, int len)} requests. Having two buffers
 * (or three if the destination stream is also buffered) is pointless, and the unnecessary buffer
 * management hurts performance slightly (about 3%, according to some simple experiments).</p>
