> The Base64 implementation has been split out of PasswordUtils some additional steps are needed to finish cleaning it up: -
>  - Look at switching to input and output streams instead of the custom iterators it is using.
>  - Consider the ByteStringBuilder from SASL
>  - As potentially more visible ensure clearer method names.
>  - Ensure adequate javadoc and cross referencing of standards supported.
>    e.g. If we implement an RFC ensure the number is referenced.
>  - Testing of each variant
>    - Consider optional support, e.g. decoding a padded String
>    - Go beyond testing we can decode what we encode and ensure pre-encoded values can be handled adequately.
> Any other clean up here that seems relevant.
