I feel like I need to keep following up just in case a Java newbie
takes this advice seriously.

That makes absolutely no sense.  The app doesn't cache data in
instances; there's utterly no point to using weak references.

"this" + "that" is compiler syntactic sugar for using a StringBuilder
to assemble the string.  There is no difference between the two.  It's
probable that I could do the same trick I did with imports and create
with two classes that generate identical bytecodes, but figuring out
the exact pattern is more effort than I care to spend at the moment.

Also, never use StringBuffer; it's a legacy class from JDK 1.0 which
unnecessarily synchronizes method calls.  StringBuilder is the
replacement.

I'm genuinely afraid to ask, but... huh?  Vector? (!!!)
