/**
 * Builds a string from constituent parts providing a more flexible and powerful API than StringBuffer.
 * <p>
 * The main differences from StringBuffer/StringBuilder are:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>Not synchronized</li>
 * <li>Not final</li>
 * <li>Subclasses have direct access to character array</li>
 * <li>Additional methods
 * <ul>
 * <li>appendWithSeparators - adds an array of values, with a separator</li>
 * <li>appendPadding - adds a length padding characters</li>
 * <li>appendFixedLength - adds a fixed width field to the builder</li>
 * <li>toCharArray/getChars - simpler ways to get a range of the character array</li>
 * <li>delete - delete char or string</li>
 * <li>replace - search and replace for a char or string</li>
 * <li>leftString/rightString/midString - substring without exceptions</li>
 * <li>contains - whether the builder contains a char or string</li>
 * <li>size/clear/isEmpty - collections style API methods</li>
 * </ul>
 * </li>
 * <li>Views
 * <ul>
 * <li>asTokenizer - uses the internal buffer as the source of a StrTokenizer</li>
 * <li>asReader - uses the internal buffer as the source of a Reader</li>
 * <li>asWriter - allows a Writer to write directly to the internal buffer</li>
 * </ul>
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * The aim has been to provide an API that mimics very closely what StringBuffer provides, but with additional methods.
 * It should be noted that some edge cases, with invalid indices or null input, have been altered - see individual
 * methods. The biggest of these changes is that by default, null will not output the text 'null'. This can be
 * controlled by a property, {@link #setNullText(String)}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This class is called {@code TextStringBuilder} instead of {@code StringBuilder} to avoid clashing with
 * {@link java.lang.StringBuilder}.
 * </p>
