The StringBuffer class is nearly useless without the ability to
delete characters within the buffer other than truncating and
then re-appending.

A new method delete should be added

StringBuffer.delete(int1, int2) - deletes int2 characters
                                  starting at int1

Note: deleteing Zero characters SHOULD NOT be an error (makes
programming simpler because you donot have to catch the null
case).

variant would be -
StringBuffer.delete(int) - deletes single character at int
                           executes as StringBuffer.delete(int,1)
