For StringBuf proxy, is it acceptible for us to introduce a new jdk.internal public interface (accessible only within java.base module) to expose common public methods in AbstractStringBuilder? We have public types extending or implementing non-public-types in the JDK (AbstractStringBuilder, NamedPackage) so I guess having a new module-specific superinterface would be fine? Need verification from API experts.
