Henri Yandell commented on LANG-425:
------------------------------------

Agreed on the dodginess of the CharSequence name. Builder strategy is because Java lacks pairs :)

UnicodeSequence.iterator( {0x30, 0x39}, {0x41, 0x46} ) feels painful.

> Don't you think it's kind of strange to have RandomUtils and RandomStringUtils, but not just the ordinairy SequenceUtils?
> I've seen commons-id in the sandbox, but maybe some basics should become part of commons lang.
> Most classes of within this package are stateless/static, or they have a state within a method (such as StrBuilder). SequenceUtils can only be static, if it has the startValue.
> For example
> {code}
> SequenceUtils.nextInt(10)
> SequenceUtils.nextString("MORE")
> SequenceUtils.nextBoolean(true) //ok, this one is stupid but quite clear
> SequenceUtils.nextString("C0DE", "0123456789ABCDEF") //next hexadecimal
> {code}
> any more ideas?
