Hi Patrick,

Have you considered making withAutoFlush() return the PrintWriter itself, allowing fluent code snippets like the following?

PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new File("path/to/file.txt"),
StandardCharsets.UTF_8).withAutoFlush();

Kind regards, Jonathan

Added those new public constructors:

PrintWriter(OutputStream, Charset) PrintWriter(File, Charset) withAutoFlush() Also added a new private constructor: PrintWriter(OutputStream, Charset, boolean) and rewired the OutputStream constructor calls to this private constructor.
