I do object, there is no reason to change the public interface to the
class for an optimization.

You could write your optimization *and* still emulate the original
behavior.

I have another question: what is the behavior in this case:

	new StringBuilder ("")

It is also a common pattern;  Notice that we should also take care of
these cases (from the public interface perspective):

	new StringBuilder ()

and than:

	new StringBuilder ("Init string")
