/**
 * <code>StringBuilder</code> represents a changeable <code>String</code>.
 * It provides the operations required to modify the
 * <code>StringBuilder</code>, including insert, replace, delete, append,
 * and reverse. It like <code>StringBuffer</code>, but is not
 * synchronized.  It is ideal for use when it is known that the
 * object will only be used from a single thread.
 *
 * <p><code>StringBuilder</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>StringBuilder</code> can have in it before it has to grow (growing
 * the char array is an expensive operation involving <code>new</code>).
 *
 * <p>Incidentally, compilers often implement the String operator "+"
 * by using a <code>StringBuilder</code> operation:<br>
 * <code>a + b</code><br>
 * is the same as<br>
 * <code>new StringBuilder().append(a).append(b).toString()</code>.
 *
 * <p>Classpath's StringBuilder is capable of sharing memory with Strings for
 * efficiency.  This will help when a StringBuilder is converted to a String
 * and the StringBuilder is not changed after that (quite common when
 * performing string concatenation).
