Henri Yandell commented on LANG-510:
------------------------------------
Though...
Could have an indexOf method for CharSequence that IF both string and substring are String, then it casts to String. That has a pretty minimal cost. Equally could add optimized code for StrBuilder and StringBuffer too.
That's tempting.
> Convert StringUtils API to take CharSequence

> Wherever possible, use CharSequence and not String in the StringUtils API.
> substring can go to subSequence inside code. The general substring method can be replaced with a subSequence method and substring deprecated(?). One question is whether to implement a CharSequence.indexOf type method. Given that it's merely a walking method(?!?), this might be quite handy and would allow a bunch of StringUtils methods to move over.
