/**
 * A destination to which characters can be written, such as a text file. Unlike a {@link Writer}, a
 * {@code CharSink} is not an open, stateful stream that can be written to and closed. Instead, it
 * is an immutable supplier of {@code Writer} instances.
 *
 * {@code CharSink} provides two kinds of methods:
 *
 * 

 *   Methods that return a writer: These methods should return a new, independent
 *       instance each time they are called. The caller is responsible for ensuring that the
 *       returned writer is closed.
 *   
Convenience methods: These are implementations of common operations that are
 *       typically implemented by opening a writer using one of the methods in the first category,
 *       doing something and finally closing the writer that was opened.
 * 
 *
 * Any {@link ByteSink} may be viewed as a {@code CharSink} with a specific {@linkplain Charset
 * character encoding} using {@link ByteSink#asCharSink(Charset)}. Characters written to the
 * resulting {@code CharSink} will written to the {@code ByteSink} as encoded bytes.
