Why doesn't CharBuffer.put(String) take a CharSequence?

[Gili]

Any chance you can roll this in as part of JDK7? :)

Right now my code has to use fragile "instanceof" code. It will break if new
implementations are added in the future. I took a look at the underlying
methods for put(CharBuffer) and put(String) and they seem to be doing the
exact same thing, just using get() instead of chatAt().
