> StringSlicer is a class that is basically implementing String.substring()
> with an optional trim in an inefficient manner.
> It creates a char array from the original string and uses this new array to
> create sub strings. This means one allocation
> and copy for the original char array and another allocation and copy for
> every subsequent slice operation.
> String.substring performs the same functionality but it can create
> sub-strings without the character array allocation
> and copy by re-using the character arrray hidden within the original string.
> I've been running tests with a additional code in StringSlicer that compares
> its output with that of String.substring with
> no differences. One minor annoyance is that StringSlicer uses an inclusive
> end offset while String.substring uses an
> exclusive end offset.
