Do you (or anyone) have any performance data comparing concatenation
followed by String construction in nio CharBuffers vs StringBuffers?
If this were faster, given that it already exists, it is tempting to
just redefine String "+" to use CharBuffers, to replace nearly all
current uses of StringBuffer with CharBuffer inside JDK library
classes, and to encourage programmers to do likewise.
If it isn't faster, maybe something could be done (in next nio JSR)
to make it faster.
