== "NIO" is "New", not "Non-Blocking" ==
According to the 1.5 release notes<ref>https://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/nio/</ref>, NIO stands for "New IO": ''"The new I/O (NIO) APIs introduced in v 1.4..."''
Suggesting that it stands for non-blocking IO is misleading to new Java developers, in that it suggests these are special IO APIs for special circumstances. In fact they're just "new", and since they're in many ways more convenient, identifying them as "new" will lead developers to more readily explore them. The "non-blocking" terminology should be removed.
