I would get no warm and fuzzy feeling from this. It gains you
nothing, and will make code more confusing. Being that String is
final, you can't make this a subclass, so you'd have to do conversions
all over the place between

How about StringBufferPlus ??
It's not an abbreviation,
fits into Stephen's scheme of alphabetical order,
doesnt introduce any new terminology/concept,
and gives us a new convention (-Plus suffix) to denote our enhancement
classes.
+1, I like this.

The idea is to have a drop in replacement for StringBuffer for when you
need
more functionality. At work this class is called UStringBuffer. That
implementation decorates a StringBuffer, but I suspect directly holding
the

I favour (insist on) names linked closely to the type being worked on,
rather than creating new names. Basically, its not the job/role of [lang] to
create new concepts, just to simplify working with existing concepts IMO.

(StringBuf) one might prefer a more descriptive name at the expense
of this convenience
for the addition of such a class, it certainly is not
my class ;-)

I remembered my favorite name - StringBuf. Its always nice if the class
appears in Eclipse next to the one its replacing :-)

Sounds good, I will then work on a StringBuffer replacement, and then
later on get on to providing it
I don't like the name StringBuf. I just don't see it as descriptive enough.
MutableString is ok. I like CharGroup also.
If it's meant to be an improved replacement for StringBuffer, I always
prefer names like StringBuffer2 or StringBufferX. I guess they can be
considered a bit ugly -- but
