   Thanks for the update @kinow 
   
   This pattern does not make sense to me:
   ```
           return stringBuilder
                   .deleteCharAt(stringBuilder.length() - 1)
                   .toString();
   ```
   First `deleteCharAt` is called which calls `System.arraycopy`, then 
`toString()` is called which allocates the new String.
   
   Why not skip the first part by simply saying:
   ```
   return stringBuilder.substring(0, stringBuilder.length() - 1);
   ```
   ?
   
   Also for the char and boolean versions, it seems like the builder size can 
be simply computed because each element's String version is a fixed size 
(assuming 5 for boolean). For ints and longs it might not be worth it as you'd 
have to assume the max size.
