Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-605:
-----------------------------------

Unless there are objections, I will commit this soon.  I think it is a great improvement to APIs, as it permits Utf8 and String to be intermixed.

> If Utf8 implemented CharSequence then interfaces could change to specify CharSequence and accept Utf8 or String interchangeably.
> This would be mostly back-compatible, except the method signatures of generated protocols would be different, so implementations would need to be updated.
