/**
* 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>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>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 -> faster" does not hold, even for large data
* transfers.</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>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>
*
* <code>copy( new BufferedInputStream( in ), new BufferedOutputStream( out ) );</code>
*
* <p>The rationale is as follows:</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>

* 2 copy Reader Writer (primitive)
*
* 3 copy InputStream Writer 2
* 4 toString InputStream String 3

*
* Note that only the first two methods shuffle bytes; the rest use these two, or (if possible) copy
* using native Java copy methods. As there are method variants to specify buffer size and encoding,
