In the various methods which print there is still this sort of construct
try {
// print operation which can throw IOException
}
catch (InterruptedIOException x) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
catch (IOException x) {
trouble = true;
}
where an `InterruptedIOException` causes the current thread to be interrupted.
Should this PR also excise these interrupts (as vestigial)? There is no longer
any description of this in the specifications of the two print stream classes
although in theory an, e.g., `OutputStream` which throws
`InterruptedIOException` could be passed in.
