* be provided by the core Java <code>String</code> and {@link StringBuffer}
* classes, such as the ability to {@link #replace} all occurrences of a given
* substring in a target string. It also provides easy-to-use methods to
* convert between delimited strings, such as CSV strings, and collections and
* arrays.
