/** UTF-8 StringBuilder.
 *
 * This class wraps a standard {@link java.lang.StringBuilder} and provides methods to append
 * UTF-8 encoded bytes, that are converted into characters.
 *
 * This class is stateful and up to 4 calls to {@link #append(byte)} may be needed before
 * state a character is appended to the string buffer.
 *
 * The UTF-8 decoding is done by this class and no additional buffers or Readers are used.
 * The UTF-8 code was inspired by http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de/utf-8/decoder/dfa/
