@FunctionalInterface
public interface Input

Input.

Here is for example how Input can be used in order to read the content of a text file:

 String content = new TextOf(
   new InputOf(new File("/tmp/names.txt"))
 ).asString();

Here InputOf implements Input and behaves like one, providing read-only access to the encapsulated File.

There is no thread-safety guarantee.
