The FastWriter actually had several (poorly documented!) ways of doing 
things.  You could attach a FastWriter to an OUTPUT STREAM, in which case 
it would act like a writer but do its own bytes-to-chars thing using the 
encoding cache, OR, you could not bind it to a stream, and instead call 
.toString() to get the result as a String.

You now have the same two choices directly from Template:
  - write the results to an OUTPUT STREAM (template.write(outputStream, c))
  - write the results to a STRING (template.evaluateAsString(c))

Simple!
