Is this named "merge" to disambiguate it from "add"? Just wondering.

A minor point but I think the wider javadoc tends to use "the given XYZ" 
when referring to parameters rather than the "the supplied XYZ".

Typo "nonempty" -> "non-empty".

I assume you meant to name the local otherBuilder rather than an 
otherBuffer. Also is there any reason not to use 
append(CharSequence,int,int) here?

The test looks good to me, I guess an alternative would be to just add 
to the existing test so that we have one test for StringJoiner (it 
doesn't matter either way).
