sequences (which nobody used) and streamline the API, adding
documentation in preparation for inclusion in the SDK.
Gut and deprecate EventLogTags, which unfortunately was put
into the public SDK (an oversight). Include the functionality
in EventLog proper, in a simpler and easier to use manner.
This change doesn't actually un-@hide anything, but it does
change it to @pending.
By default, Android's System.out and System.err are implemented by
the AndroidPrintStream subclass of LoggingPrintStream. Until now,
that class has silently discarded the raw bytes it has received.
This causes two problems:
Applications may be accidentally wasting CPU+memory writing to
System.out. By making this output visible, the developers of such
applications can silence the problem at the source.
Application developers may be purposefully writing to these streams
and perplexed by the data's disappearance. For example, the core
library's own java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler sends its log data
into this black hole. By making the data visible, we save the data
and remove an unnecessary sharp edge from our API.
