Niall Pemberton commented on IO-192:
------------------------------------

Sorry didn't answer your point about identity hashcode - perhaps you're right, 
but if thats a no-go then rather than Object - the tag should be Serializable.

> Tagged input and output streams

> I'd like to introduce two new proxy streams, TaggedInputStream and 
> TaggedOutputStream, that tag all exceptions thrown by the proxied streams. 
> The goal is to make it easier to detect the source of an IOException when 
> you're dealing with multiple different streams. For example:
> {code}
> InputStream input = ...;
> OutputStream output = ...;
> TaggedOutputStream proxy = new TaggedOutputStream(output);
> try {
>     IOUtils.copy(input, proxy);
> } catch (IOException e) {
>     if (proxy.isTagged(e)) {
>         // Could not write to the output stream
>         // Perhaps we can handle that error somehow (retry, cancel?)
>         e.initCause(); // gives the original exception from the proxied stream
>     } else {
>         // Could not read from the input stream, nothing we can do
>         throw e;
>     }
> }
> {code}
> I'm working on a patch to implement such a feature.
