## [Java] Class StringBufferWriter

- org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringBufferWriter

- This class codes around a silly limitation of StringWriter which doesn't allow a StringBuffer to be passed in as a constructor for some bizarre reason. So we replicate the behaviour of StringWriter here but allow a StringBuffer to be passed in.
