No StringBufferOutputStream???

[Jim C.]

So if there is a StringBufferInputStream, you would think that there
would be a StringBufferOutputStream.

Any ideas as to why there isn't??

StringBufferInputStream is part of the old, deprecated 1.0 I/O framework, 
which was lax about differentiating between bytes and chars.

You want StringReader and StringWriter instead, or perhaps
CharArrayWriter.  I don't know why there are two of these -- weird.
