+##FakeFile
 The purpose of FakeFile is to provide an easy way to test file system 
 operations in Java (particularly those in java.io.File) as safely as possible.
 
 The primary benefits are:
 
-  - Dangerous file operations, such as delete, are limited to the behavior
-    that you define in your tests.  This helps prevent bugs from performing 
-    accidental damage, and is especially useful when working with someone else's
-    code or library.

     much as possible, but at the same time, reading/writing files is likely one 
     of the most critical operations for your application to do correctly, and requires
     significant testing.  FakeFile allows you to test while redirecting to in-memory
     objects such as ByteArrayInputStream or writing to a MessageDigestOutputStream and
     just verifying an md5 sum in your test:

 Then, when you're in your real application, just use DefaultFileSystem to get
 the real Java implementations of File, File Streams, and File Reader/Writers.
