Description

Groovy enables developers to treat {{CharSequence}}s as if they were true sequences. For example, you can use a for loop and the array index operator.

Some extension methods are missing though. One I was hoping to find was the count(Closure) method. I think it makes sense to incorporate any Iterable extension methods into CharSequence as well.
