`asString` sounds good. Concise, but easy enough to remember what the difference is between that and `toString` once you learn about it. We would need some good Javadoc on the...

Just a heads up, I have a branch halfway done implementing this, but IRL work got busy before I could clean it up for submission

Ok, I have the type I want to expose for unmodifiable view (basically a plain char sequence but also supporting many of the non-mutation methods StringBuilder provides, like `getChars`) The...

Low priority as we have such methods `@Deprecated`

What I am thinking currently is to make the spliterator go over the elements like the iterator, but keep a reference to the "right most seen but not traversed" node....

The idea is that a spliterator needs to be able to split efficiently but still maintain sorted order. After a `trySplit`, the current spliterator becomes the suffix. The returned iterator...

It probably is, I just couldn't figure it out. :embarrassed:

There are two offenders that immediately come to mind * The `of` static factories from the root interfaces (`List.of(...)`, etc) (Ninja'd!) * The wrappers of Iterator/Spliterator in `Iterators`/`Spliterators` converting to...
