Resuming this topic, what is the general view on the three possible paths:
1. Override write(byte[]) at the risk of incompatibility.
2. Instead add writeBytes(byte[]) as in ByteArrayOutputStream.
3. Resolve as Won’t Fix.
For 2 or 3 the incorrect class level statement about overriding all methods not
to throw IOE would need to be dealt with.
PrintStream dates from JDK 1.0 so I don't think it's feasible to add an
override now that doesn't throw IOE.
Tagir's suggestion to add a writeBytes(byte[]) seem fine, assuming there
is a great need. Alternatively you can add an override (that throws IOE)
so that you have somewhere for an @apiNote that suggests using
write(b,0,b.len) as "exception-less" write.
