I reworked the tests and Writer implementation accordingly

Just catching up on this.

nullReader's javadoc suggests that mark(int) does not nothing but this seems to conflict with the Reader's javadoc where it is specified to throw IOE when mark is not supported.

I'm a bit uneasy with len==0 check in the read method. I realize this is trying to mirror InputStream.read and maybe some Reader implementations but it's not specified behavior. I think we have to re-examine the Reader spec to clarify this to avoid creating more inconsistencies.

Similarly in nullWriter() where it looks like the the len==0 checks is in unspecified territory. I think this will need clarifications to the Writer spec. One obvious inconsistency is to close the writer and call write("") and write("",  0, 0). The first will fail as the writer is closed, the second does not fail.

Another one is read(CharBuffer). Suppose CharBuffer cb has 0 bytes remaining; if I invoke nullReader().read(cb) then it looks like it will return 0 whereas the read(CharBuffer) method is specified to return -1.
