A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
CharBuffer needs a put() method that takes a CharSequence.

JUSTIFICATION :
Right now it has a put(CharBuffer src) and put(String src), but no put(StringBuffer src) method or put(CharSequence src).  If one has a CharSequence or a StringBuffer, it first has to turn them into a String before it can be put into a buffer.  The specific methods for CharBuffer, String, and StringBuffer are really unecessary if there is a put(CharSequence src), unless they could be implemented more efficiently by  customer  the real type of a CharSequence.

Good idea.  --   xxxxx@xxxxx   2003/5/14

Now that we have the append() methods , the put() methods should be cleaned up.  The put () methods that take CharSequence  should be added and the other specific ones depracated.  There should be the same versions of put() with CharSequence  as there are with a char[[
