41  * (as defined by {@link java.io.OutputStream}) where the target method is responsible for either

44  * <p/><b>Lazy write operations:</b> where the caller guarantees that it will never modify the
45  * provided buffer and it can therefore be considered immutable. The target method is free to
46  * maintain a reference to the buffer beyond the scope of the method call (e.g. until the write
47  * operation completes).
