/**
 * This class provides static utility methods for 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>
 * 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>
 * For byte-to-char methods, a <code>copy</code> variant allows the encoding
 * to be selected (otherwise the platform default is used). We would like to
 * encourage you to always specify the encoding because relying on the platform
 * default can lead to unexpected results.
 * <p
 * We don't provide special variants for the <code>copy</code> methods that
 * let you specify the buffer size because in modern VMs the impact on speed
 * seems to be minimal. We're using a default buffer size of 4 KB.
 * <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:
 * <pre>
 *  copy( new BufferedInputStream( in ), new BufferedOutputStream( out ) );
 *  </pre>
 * The rationale is as follows:
 * <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>
 * 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>
 * Behold, intrepid explorers; a map of this class:
 * <pre>
 *       Method      Input               Output          Dependency
 *       ------      -----               ------          -------
 * 1     copy        InputStream         OutputStream    (primitive)
 * 2     copy        Reader              Writer          (primitive)
 *
 * 3     copy        InputStream         Writer          2
 *
 * 4     copy        Reader              OutputStream    2
 *
 * 5     copy        String              OutputStream    2
 * 6     copy        String              Writer          (trivial)
 *
 * 7     copy        byte[]              Writer          3
 * 8     copy        byte[]              OutputStream    (trivial)
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * 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 the encoding, each row may
 * correspond to up to 2 methods.
 * <p>
 * Origin of code: Excalibur.
