OK, @jvasileff, I just committed some performance optimizations to `Array` that now make our `ArrayList` _very_ competitive with Java's. I can't measure a significant difference in performance for `getFromFirst()`s and...

Wait, what are you varying then? I thought this was for varying the internal representation used by `Whole`.
A doubly linked list?
I'm suggesting you try a doubly linked list, to avoid the cost of repackaging it.
I propose to eliminate most of this complexity, by deleting `Buffer` and `CharacterBuffer` from the API, since right now they're not really used for anything. That way, `ByteBuffer` will become...
Well NIO has all that, but we don't really. And plus there is a performance problem with the design of `Buffer`, the generic `get()` method returns a boxed type.
@FroMage But your `CharacterBuffer` is a totally useless thing. It's just a wrapper for a `String`.
@FroMage No it doesn't. It's a wrapper for a `String`. You must have forgotten to finish writing that class, because the functionality you're describing has nothing to do with what...
