I was surprised that my mq upgrade went without a conflict.
The rename Just Worked!

I improved the spec to make it hopefully less clumsy,
and added some more tests as well.

I'm pretty sure that the only change is in the doc for CharBuffer.java.
It now talks about "char buffer" instead of "character buffer",
which is (sadly) a clear improvement.

I'd like to commit my latest version.  webrev regenerated.

(Unless of course we suddenly become bold enough to
switch to saner semantics)
