>Description:
Many of the methods in the PrintWriter class are badly implemented.
According to the Sun javadocs, PrintWriter.print(Object obj) should
use String.valueOf(Object) then write(int). Currently,
PrintWriter.print(Object obj) calls PrintWriter.print(String str).
The same applies to all other PrintWriter.print methods.
