Are there no utilties for working with CharSequence objects? If anyone knows of any good, open-source CharSequences utilities, please let me know.

CharSequences are really nice for high performance computing. They provide a convenient methodology for moving chunks of data around without having to make copies of the data. It would be nice if the JDK shipped with some utilitiy methods beyond what’s found in the regular expression library. Perhaps I should take the simple utilities that I’ve already written and see if I can get them included in Jakarta commons somewhere.
