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, ok, but then I suggest we dumb down String.Buffer again to what it was in 7.8, and get rid of the addat() as well. Since the addat() use case becomes rather narrow considering the existence of IOBuffer. Or am I missing something as to its usefulness in String.Buffer?

Reviewing the functionality, I'd say to keep clear() and sprintf() to String.Buffer, but drop addat() ?
