Re: Scala IO step 2

I have updated the google spreadsheet with the API from the Java 7 openJDK Javadocs and mapped all the methods to the ones I found in the very briefly published API in Scala 2.8.  I have been for some odd reason unable to generate the docs from the Scala.IO clone I have.
Next steps:

• Prioritize the missing functionality
• Make a report listing the areas of the Scala.io API that could cause problems in the future.  Although I must say that for the most part it aligns very well with the API.  The biggest difference is that it is not as complete yet.  Not surprising.
• Discuss some of the issues I raise.
• Probably remove more items to out of scope status.
• continue to flesh out implementation.

If I got anything stupidly wrong or if you can think of a better way of showing this information than a spreadsheet please let me know and I will do my best to fix the issues.

Do you have a link to the Google commons/IO library?  I am having difficulty finding it.  
I also want to review other libraries such as those in other functional libraries to see if there are some ideas that could be beneficial for the Scala library.  I am a Java developer primarily though so I would appreciate some ideas of good functional IO libraries.

Google also recently released some "commons" library that includes I/O ideas.  Some of these are functional, and I think need to be thought through.

I'm very against whole-sale duplicating the API, as I'd like to see something very Scala come out.  However as a first cut, great work!  I'll dig through this tonight, if I can find some time.
