[lang] new StringBuffer.. what to call it

[Ash ..]

BTW: MutableString is a bad name as it can imply a class that holds a 
String
and has a getString and setString method.

Can you tell us why the name MutableString implies it has a getString and 
setString.

And what do people think here of introducing a different term (say Strand) 
for this concept as I discussed earlier (I paste that here, last time it was 
buried under confusion due to a typo.)

"
Talking about name, I would add my opinion that while it might be
nice to have a name for the replacer that is much like the replacee,
(StringBuf) one might prefer a more descriptive name at the expense
of this convenience: (***  MutableString).
As a compromise between the two, the name Strand can be adopted (Str...
thus near the original one + can be defined to represent a mutable
string contrasted with "String" which, by virtue of the so-named
class in the API, is immutable.)

Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.
