Description
There have been many requests to add the duals of InputStreamReader and
OutputStreamWriter, namely ReaderInputStream and WriterOutputStream.  Because
encoding converters are hidden within the I/O classes at present, the only way
to get this functionality right now is to use a piped stream, which is not very
efficient.
Comments
EVALUATION Will not fix. Now that we have a public API for character-set coding (see java.nio.charset), there is no compelling reason to add these classes. -- ###@###.### 2002/5/23
