Description

We have a handy NullOutputStream.
 
I'd like to add a convenience NullPrintStream, which would dead simple:
 

 
/**
 * This PrintStream writes all data to the famous <b>/dev/null</b>.
 * <p>
 * This print stream has no destination (file/socket etc.) and all bytes written to it are ignored and lost.
 * </p>
 * @since 2.7
 */
public class NullPrintStream extends PrintStream {

    public static final NullPrintStream NULL_PRINT_STREAM = new NullPrintStream();

    @SuppressWarnings("resource")
    public NullPrintStream() {
        super(new NullOutputStream());
    }

}
