/**
 * A string buffer implements a mutable sequence of characters. 
 * A string buffer is like a {@link String}, but can be modified. At any 
 * point in time it contains some particular sequence of characters, but 
 * the length and content of the sequence can be changed through certain 
 * method calls.
 * <p>
 * String buffers are safe for use by multiple threads. The methods 
 * are synchronized where necessary so that all the operations on any 
 * particular instance behave as if they occur in some serial order 
 * that is consistent with the order of the method calls made by each of 
 * the individual threads involved. 
 * <p>
 * String buffers are used by the compiler to implement the binary 
 * string concatenation operator <code>+</code>. For example, the code:
 * <p><blockquote><pre>
 *     x = "a" + 4 + "c"
 * </pre></blockquote><p>
 * is compiled to the equivalent of: 
 * <p><blockquote><pre>
 *     x = new StringBuffer().append("a").append(4).append("c")
 *                           .toString()
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * which creates a new string buffer (initially empty), appends the string
 * representation of each operand to the string buffer in turn, and then
 * converts the contents of the string buffer to a string. Overall, this avoids
 * creating many temporary strings.
 * <p>
 * The principal operations on a <code>StringBuffer</code> are the 
 * <code>append</code> and <code>insert</code> methods, which are 
 * overloaded so as to accept data of any type. Each effectively 
 * converts a given datum to a string and then appends or inserts the 
 * characters of that string to the string buffer. The 
 * <code>append</code> method always adds these characters at the end 
 * of the buffer; the <code>insert</code> method adds the characters at 
 * a specified point. 
 * <p>
 * For example, if <code>z</code> refers to a string buffer object 
 * whose current contents are "<code>start</code>", then 
 * the method call <code>z.append("le")</code> would cause the string 
 * buffer to contain "<code>startle</code>", whereas 
 * <code>z.insert(4, "le")</code> would alter the string buffer to 
 * contain "<code>starlet</code>". 
 * <p>
 * In general, if sb refers to an instance of a <code>StringBuffer</code>, 
 * then <code>sb.append(x)</code> has the same effect as 
 * <code>sb.insert(sb.length(),&nbsp;x)</code>.
 * <p>
 * Every string buffer has a capacity. As long as the length of the 
 * character sequence contained in the string buffer does not exceed 
 * the capacity, it is not necessary to allocate a new internal 
 * buffer array. If the internal buffer overflows, it is 
 * automatically made larger. 
 *
