      The Matcher class has a few public methods that take StringBuffers,
      and we've found it useful to add similar versions that take StringBuilders.

      It has two benefits:

      - Users don't have to convert from one to the other when they want to use
      the method in question. The symmetry is nice.

      - The StringBuilder variants are faster (if lock optimizations don't kick
      in, which happens in the interpreter and the client compiler). For
      interpreted / client-compiled code, we saw something like a 25% speedup on
      String.replaceAll(), which calls into this code.
