duck-streams should handle bytes as well as characters

I'd like to see duck-streams learn to support byte-oriented I/O just as well as it currently supports character-oriented I/O.

I've written an implementation and made it available on my ducks-byte [1] branch of clojure-contrib for discussion and possible inclusion.

[1] http://github.com/bpsm/clojure-contrib/tree/ducks-byte

The branch itself breaks the change down into a sequence of (hopefully) logical steps, so I encourage those interested to have a look at it.

Features



  • input-stream is like reader, except for bytes.
  • output-stream is like writer, except for bytes.
  • reader and writer now build on input-stream and output-stream where appropriate.

Compatibility



I've renamed *append-to-writer* because it applies not just to writers, but also to output-streams. This might be a compatibility issue for clients that did not heed the advice given in documentation to use append-writer or append-spit instead of directly binding this var.

Teaching duck-streams to try to resolve a string that isn't a file or URL as a classpath resource more properly belongs in a separate ticket.
