The semantics defined by the API means that the difference will be
two ways to do the same thing.

If you look at the SUN implementation, then it you see that the
two ways are indeed identical:

public class FileWriter extends OutputStreamWriter {
     public FileWriter(String fileName) throws IOException {
	super(new FileOutputStream(fileName));
     }

(and no - it does not override any methods)
