/**
* {@code StringJoiner} is used to construct a sequence of characters separated
* by a delimiter and optionally starting with a supplied prefix
* and ending with a supplied suffix.
*
* Prior to adding something to the {@code StringJoiner}, its
* {@code sj.toString()} method will, by default, return {@code prefix + suffix}.
* However, if the {@code setEmptyValue} method is called, the {@code emptyValue}
* supplied will be returned instead. This can be used, for example, when
* creating a string using set notation to indicate an empty set, i.e.
* "{}", where the {@code prefix} is "{", the
* {@code suffix} is "}" and nothing has been added to the
* {@code StringJoiner}.
*
* @apiNote
*
The String {@code "[George:Sally:Fred]"} may be constructed as follows:
*
*
{@code
* StringJoiner sj = new StringJoiner(":", "[", "]");
* sj.add("George").add("Sally").add("Fred");
* String desiredString = sj.toString();
* }
*
* A {@code StringJoiner} may be employed to create formatted output from a
* {@link java.util.stream.Stream} using
* {@link java.util.stream.Collectors#joining(CharSequence)}. For example:
*
*
{@code
* List numbers = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4);
* String commaSeparatedNumbers = numbers.stream()
* .map(i -> i.toString())
* .collect(Collectors.joining(", "));
* }
*
* @see java.util.stream.Collectors#joining(CharSequence)
* @see java.util.stream.Collectors#joining(CharSequence, CharSequence, CharSequence)
* @since 1.8
