<P>
This is an implementation of the JDK 1.4 CharSequence interface: it implements
a CharSequence as a view of an array. The implementation relies on the array
being immutable: as a minimum, the caller is required to ensure that the array
contents will not change so long as the CharSlice remains in existence.
This class should be more efficient than String because it avoids copying the
characters unnecessarily.
The methods in the class don't check their arguments. Incorrect arguments will
generally result in exceptions from lower-level classes.
