          public CharSequenceUtils()

      `CharSequenceUtils` instances should NOT be constructed in standard programming.

      This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean instance to operate.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### subSequence

          public static CharSequence subSequence(CharSequence cs,
                                 int start)

      Returns a new `CharSequence` that is a subsequence of this sequence starting with the `char` value at the specified index.

      This provides the `CharSequence` equivalent to `String.substring(int)`. The length (in `char`) of the returned sequence is `length() - start`, so if `start == end` then an empty sequence is returned.

      Parameters:
        `cs` - the specified subsequence, null returns null
        `start` - the start index, inclusive, valid
      Returns:
        a new subsequence, may be null
      Throws:
        `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `start` is negative or if `start` is greater than `length()`
