/**
 * Bare-bones, unsafe, fast string buffer. No thread-safety, no
 * parameter range checking, exposed fields. Note that in typical
 * applications, thread-safety of a StringBuffer is a somewhat
 * dubious concept in any case.
 * <p>
 * Note that Stree and DTM used a single FastStringBuffer as a string pool,
 * by recording start and length indices within this single buffer. This
 * minimizes heap overhead, but of course requires more work when retrieving
 * the data.
 * <p>
 * FastStringBuffer operates as a "chunked buffer". Doing so
 * reduces the need to recopy existing information when an append
 * exceeds the space available; we just allocate another chunk and
 * flow across to it. (The array of chunks may need to grow,
 * admittedly, but that's a much smaller object.) Some excess
 * recopying may arise when we extract Strings which cross chunk
 * boundaries; larger chunks make that less frequent.
 * <p>
 * The size values are parameterized, to allow tuning this code. In
 * theory, Result Tree Fragments might want to be tuned differently 
 * from the main document's text. 
 * <p>
 * %REVIEW% An experiment in self-tuning is
 * included in the code (using nested FastStringBuffers to achieve
 * variation in chunk sizes), but this implementation has proven to
 * be problematic when data may be being copied from the FSB into itself.
 * We should either re-architect that to make this safe (if possible)
 * or remove that code and clean up for performance/maintainability reasons.
