Description

It would be useful to have a ByteArrayOutputStream.readFrom(InputStream) method to mirror the existing writeTo(OutputStream) method. A call like baos.readFrom(in) would be semantically the same as IOUtils.copy(in, baos), but would avoid an extra in-memory copy of the stream contents, as it could read bytes from the input stream directly into the internal ByteArrayOutputStream buffers.

[update: renamed the method to write(InputStream) as discussed below]
