 * This class allows a large text string to be constructed incrementally by appending small chunks.  The final
 * string can be obtained by calling StringBuilder.toString().
 *
 * @remarks
 * A naive approach might use the `+=` operator to append strings:  This would have the downside of copying
 * the entire string each time a chunk is appended, resulting in `O(n^2)` bytes of memory being allocated
 * (and later freed by the garbage  collector), and many of the allocations could be very large objects.
 * StringBuilder avoids this overhead by accumulating the chunks in an array, and efficiently joining them
 * when `getText()` is finally called.
