To me, this isn't clear either. However, I wonder:
What keeps you from writing safe code? I would suspect, that your
CharSequence might store some kind of char array. So why not call the
corresponding append method? Or even if it does not store a char array,
then why not write the for loop to append char by char? It's just 2
lines and it's probably not even slower.
