Hi Patrick, nice to hear from you again! I agree we should consider adding this
method. Unfortunately, from the spec point of view I suppose this one will
require a lot more chewing. For instance there's nothing that can be closed
either in Readable or Appendable (in general case), since neither of them is
java.io.Closeable or even java.lang.AutoCloseable. In my opinion, all mentions
of 'close' operations should go.
I agree that transferTo(Writer) is a no-brainer. When changed to be more
general and Appendable then it might be simplest to just deal with the
AutoCloseable case in the javadoc.
