StringBuilder.append cannot throw IndexOutOfBoundsException

[Martin Buchholz]

Iris,

Yes, please take care of CCC.

Hopefully the process for minor spec changes will be

There are other, non-spec improvements to String javadoc to come.
It would be nice if someone (or a bot) at Sun could generate BlenderRevs
on demand.

Thanks,

Martin
