## [Java] Class StringBufferWriter

- org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringBufferWriter

- This class codes around a silly limitation of StringWriter which doesn't allow a StringBuffer to be passed in as a constructor for some bizarre reason. So we replicate the behaviour of StringWriter here but allow a StringBuffer to be passed in.

      Write a portion of an array of characters.

      Parameters:
        `text` - Array of characters
        `offset` - Offset from which to start writing characters
        `length` - Number of characters to write

    - #### public void write(String text)
