Convert StringUtils API to take CharSequence
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: LANG-510
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-510
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Henri Yandell
             Fix For: 3.0


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.
