new DelegatingEventSink<T>

This is inferred from the return type.

Maybe, but that's non-intuitive, and it shouldn't cost to add the 'T'.

[nweiz, 2016/04/14 19:27:16]

I think it's pretty intuitive. It's right there in the return type, which is
only one line away.

 
   void add(T data) {
     _sink.add(data);
   }
 
   void addError(error, [StackTrace stackTrace]) {
     _sink.addError(error, stackTrace);
   }
 
   void close() {
     _sink.close();
   }
 }
