Patrick’s comment made us think again about the naming here as “nullStream()” 
would not fit for eventual equivalent methods on Reader and Writer. It might be 
better to go with something like

InputStream InputStream.nullSource();
OutputStream.nullSink();

and later

Reader.nullSource();
Writer.nullSink();

Another alternative would be simply to reflect the class names in the methods:

InputStream InputStream.nullInputStream();
OutputStream.nullOutputStream();

and later

Reader.nullReader();
Writer.nullWriter();

Comments?

Thanks,

Brian
