Class StringBuffer

Deque --+
        |
       StringBuffer

A FIFO for characters. Strings can be efficiently appended to the end, and read from the beginning.

Example:

>>> B = StringBuffer('Hello W')
>>> B.append('orld!')
>>> B.read(5)
'Hello'

>>> B.read()
'World!'

Method Summary
	`__init__(self, s)`
	`__len__(self)` Number of items in the deque.
	`__repr__(self)`
	`__str__(self)`
	`append(self, s)` Append string data to the end of the buffer.
	`peek(self, n)` Like read(), but do not remove the data that is returned.
	`prepend(self, s)` Prepend string data to the beginning of the buffer.
	`read(self, n)` Read n bytes of data (or less if less data available) from the beginning of the buffer.
Inherited from Deque
	`_partition(self)`
	`pop_first(self)` Pop an item off the beginning of the deque, and return it.
	`pop_last(self)` Pop an item off the end of the deque, and return it.
	`push_first(self, obj)` Prepend obj to the beginning of the deque.
	`push_last(self, obj)` Append obj to the end of the deque.
