What I intended was just something to concatenate byte[] into longer
byte[], no encodings involved, not a StringBuilder than squirted out
encoded bytes.  It is a subset of what ByteArrayOutputStream does.

A FastCat is like a StringBuilder but where you estimate the number
fragments to be joined, not the total length of the result. It is more
RAM efficient since it allocates the precise amount of space needed
for the concatenated String.

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/stringbuilder.html
where I discuss the merits of StringBuilder vs FastCat vs StringBuffer
