Description

Following the #LANG-1139 ticket, it would be nice to make these methods null safe in StringUtils :

public static String replacePattern(final String source, final String regex, final String replacement);
public static String removePattern(final String source, final String regex);

A null reference passed to these methods would be a no-op.
