/**
 * Joins an array or {@link Iterable} into an existing {@link Appendable} like a {@link StringBuilder}; with the goal for call sites to avoid creating
 * intermediary Strings. This is like {@link String#join(CharSequence, CharSequence...)}, {@link String#join(CharSequence, Iterable)}, and {@link StringJoiner}.
 * <p>
 * Keep an instance in a (static) variable for efficient joining into an {@link Appendable} or {@link StringBuilder} without creating temporary Strings.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Use the builder and instance methods to reuse the same kind of joining prefix, suffix, delimiter, and string conversion.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For example:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * // A reuseable instance
 * private static final AppendableJoiner<Object> JOINER = AppendableJoiner.builder()
 *     .setPrefix("[")
 *     .setSuffix("]")
 *     .setDelimiter(", ")
 *     .get();
 * }
 * ...
 * // Builds straight into a StringBuilder:
 * StringBuilder sbuilder = new StringBuilder("1");
 * JOINER.join(sbuilder, "A", "B");
 * sbuilder.append("2");
 * JOINER.join(sbuilder, "C", "D");
 * sbuilder.append("3");
 * // Returns "1[A, B]2[C, D]3"
 * return sbuilder.toString();
 * }</pre>
 * <p>
 * To provide a custom Object element to {@link CharSequence} converter, call {@link Builder#setElementAppender(FailableBiConsumer)}, for example:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * private static final AppendableJoiner<Item> JOINER = AppendableJoiner.builder()
 *     .setElementAppender(e -> (a, e) -> a.append(e.getFoo())
 *                                        a.append(e.getBar())
 *                                        a.append('!'))
 *     ...
 *     .get();
 * }
 * }</pre>
 * <p>
 * This class is immutable and thread-safe.
