Review Comment:
   The `Write` trait impl of StringBuilder can meet my current needs, but it is 
not very convenient to use, so I've defined a StringArrayBuilder. I agree with 
your suggestion to add an unsafe function to StringBuilder.

   ```rust
   let mut builder = GenericStringBuilder::<i32>::new();
   
    // Write data
   write!(builder, "foo").unwrap();
   write!(builder, "bar").unwrap();
   
   // Finish value
   builder.append_value("baz");
   
   // Write second value
   write!(builder, "v2").unwrap();
   builder.append_value("");
   let array = builder.finish();
   
   assert_eq!(array.value(0), "foobarbaz");
   assert_eq!(array.value(1), "v2");
   ```
