I agree; but this is code which has sat in the generics branch for
several months, not something that has just been put together.  Also,
this is something which will allow Classpath to work with existing code
that just happens to be compiled with a 1.5 compiler (which does a
StringBuffer for StringBuilder substitution in String use) but has no
actual 1.5 changes.
