/**
 * <code>StringBuffer</code> represents a changeable <code>String</code>.
 * It provides the operations required to modify the
 * <code>StringBuffer</code> including insert, replace, delete, append,
 * and reverse.
 * <P>
 *
 * <code>StringBuffer</code>s are variable-length in nature, so even if
 * you initialize them to a certain size, they can still grow larger than
 * that.  <EM>Capacity</EM> indicates the number of characters the
 * <code>StringBuffer</code> can have in it before it has to grow (growing
 * the char array is an expensive operation involving <code>new</code>).
 * <P>
 *
 * Incidentally, the String operator "+" actually is turned into a
 * <code>StringBuffer</code> operation:
 * <BR>
 * <code>a + b</code>
 * <BR>
 * is the same as
 * <BR>
 * <code>new StringBuffer(a).append(b).toString()</code>.
 *
 * @implnote Classpath's StringBuffer is capable of sharing memory with
 *           Strings for efficiency.  This will help in two instances:
 *           first, when a StringBuffer is created from a String but is
 *           never changed, and second, when a StringBuffer is converted
 *           to a String and the StringBuffer is not changed after that.
