Excellent. I left a comment in the mailing list.
And a P.S. to that comment: dropWhile, collectReplacements, takeWhile don't currently handle a Closure with a String arg, so it would be good to make them support that too.

> 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.
