Adding scala.io.Target #2

Can you show a code snippet that uses Java nio to write to a file, and contrast with a snippet that uses this API?
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/io/file.html has a few examples.

Concerns: Source is somewhat discouraged in its current form, either needs to be deprecated or reworked.
If you add Target with the same flaws it is unlikely to be accepted, however the idea of reworking Source in addition has some favor.
Needs to find a "slipherd".
Maybe a good target for an IO expert group

Throwing my hat in here. I wrote a library to make I/O in Scala intuitive and I got a lot of positive response to it:

Closing since the SLIP process is being replaced by the new Scala Platform Process (http://www.scala-lang.org/blog/2016/11/28/spp.html). SLIP proposers are encouraged to resubmit under the new process. |
It's a first version of a SLIP doc for adding
