- - ### Methods Detail

    - #### public StringBuffer leftShift(Object value)

      Overloads the left shift operator to provide an easy way to append multiple objects as string representations to a StringBuffer.

      Parameters:
        `value` - a value to append
      Returns:
        the StringBuffer on which this operation was invoked
      Since:
        1.0

    - #### public String plus(String right)

      Appends a String to this StringBuffer.

      Parameters:
        `right` - a String
      Returns:
        a String
      Since:
        1.0

    - #### public void putAt(EmptyRange range, Object value)

      Supports the range subscript operator for StringBuffer.

      Parameters:
        `range` - a Range
        `value` - the object that's toString() will be inserted
      Since:
        1.0

    - #### public void putAt(IntRange range, Object value)

      Supports the range subscript operator for StringBuffer. Index values are treated as characters within the buffer.

      Parameters:
        `range` - a Range
        `value` - the object that's toString() will be inserted
      Since:
        1.0
