Re: String.Buffer, drop addat(), keep sprintf() ?

Considering it was added in 2011, I guess its actually in use. I think when removing APIs/features there need to be compelling reasons to do so. The mere fact that addat has narrow use cases (is that even true?) is imho not enough.

Well, in some way that is not entirely true: We do try to remove functions that are a bit too narrow in scope.

I have never seen the use case for addat personally. And I did not include it in IOBuffer even though it would be fairly simple. Also, the function name indicates that the data should be added at a specific location, not overwriting anything.
