Description

For JAPI, SAPI, and the regular internals, the use of Channels everywhere instead of regular java io streams is annoying.

For DataProcessor.save, and compiler.reload, we should accept ordinary java.io.InputStream and java.io.OutputStream.

No point in making a java programmer understand Channels to use a simple API like this.

Our use of channels may be ill-advised here anyway. I can't recall the rationale for choosing them to begin with.
