It looks like most (all?) of the methods defined by StringBuffer and 
StringBuilder that can throw NPE already specify it. Are you planning on 
removing the @throws from the methods?

I see that String uses <tt>null</tt>, the proposed update to 
StringBuilder uses <code>null</code>, and the proposed update to 
StringBuffer uses {@code null}. We should try to be consistent.
