  42   * This class allows data to be written to a char array buffer and
  43   * and then retrieved by an application.   The internal char array
  44   * buffer is dynamically resized to hold all the data written.  Please
  45   * be aware that writing large amounts to data to this stream will
  46   * cause large amounts of memory to be allocated.
  47   * <p>
  48   * The size of the internal buffer defaults to 32 and it is resized
  49   * in increments of 1024 chars.  This behavior can be over-ridden by using the
  50   * following two properties:
  51   * <p>
  52   * <ul>
  53   * <li><xmp>gnu.java.io.CharArrayWriter.initialBufferSize</xmp></li>
  54   * <li><xmp>gnu.java.io.CharArrayWriter.bufferIncrementSize</xmp></li>
  55   * </ul>
  56   * <p>
  57   * There is a constructor that specified the initial buffer size and
  58   * that is the preferred way to set that value because it it portable
  59   * across all Java class library implementations.
