Aside: it would be much easier to maintain consistent style if we used a "template" to define the main outline of each family of interfaces and generated the specializations from that (similar to how we generate the various bytebuffer classes). Oh, please god no! I find the way the buffer classes are generated a real pain. Yes, it is good for maintaining consistency across similar versions, but I don't see that as a good justification to introduce this complexity. I was secretly hoping that nio Buffer generation would go away in jdk8.

:) I only meant as a tool during development of the classes, not to actually generate them as part of the build.

Sorry for alarming you like that. :)
