/*
   By default Regex searches strings.  When it does
   a text substitution it puts the result in a StringBuffer,
   appending different bits of data as it goes.

   However, it doesn't have to do this.  It asks the
   StringLike object that it is searching for a new
   BasicStringBuffer class.

   By default, package com.stevesoft.pat.wrap has three:
   1) CharArrayBufferWrap -- the data is written to a
      char[] Object.
   2) WriterWrap -- the output is written to a Writer
      object.
   3) StringBufferWrap -- the data is written to a
      StringBuffer Object.
