Hi, Thank for releasing this library. Some ideas for next features: * support for writing an underlaying byte array into the OutputStream * constructing utf8 string directly from InputStream, byte array or byte buffer * less lazyness and more reducers, current version is very very slow * cache the count * equiv should check unfinished surrogates * transient utf8-writer
