Stringy (sly-jdk 0.1.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.movealong.sly.model.Stringy

All Implemented Interfaces:

CharSequence, Iterable<Character>
```
public final class Stringy
extends Object
implements CharSequence, Iterable<Character>
```
For unknown reasons, the Java API does not implement native iteration of the characters that make up a String by implementing Iterable. Stringy is a CharSequence decorator which offers just this missing functionality, as well as easy conversions between CharSequence, Iterable of Character, and String.
Useful conversions:
CharSequence to String
```
             stringify(new StringBuilder("foobar"))
         
```
Iterable to String
```
             stringify(strictQueue('f', 'o', 'o', 'b', 'a', 'r'))
         
```
CharSequence to Iterable
```
             stringy("foobar")
         
```
Iterable to CharSequence
```
             stringy(strictQueue('f', 'o', 'o', 'b', 'a', 'r'))
         
```
Certain operations are idempotent. In general, attempting to construct a type from an object that already expresses that type will return the supplied object. For example, stringify("foobar") will detect that the supplied CharSequence is already a String and simply return it. This is also the case when attempting to construct a Stringy from an existing Stringy.
