  - ### Method Detail

    - #### next

          public static java.lang.Object next(java.lang.Enum self)

      This method is called by the ++ operator for enums. It will invoke Groovy's default next behaviour for enums do not have their own next method.
      Parameters:
        `self` - an Enum
      Returns:
        the next defined enum from the enum class

    - #### previous

          public static java.lang.Object previous(java.lang.Enum self)

      This method is called by the -- operator for enums. It will invoke Groovy's default previous behaviour for enums that do not have their own previous method.
      Parameters:
        `self` - an Enum
      Returns:
        the previous defined enum from the enum class

    - #### size

          public static int size(java.lang.StringBuilder builder)

      Standard Groovy size() method for StringBuilders.
      Parameters:
        `builder` - a StringBuilder
      Returns:
        the length of the StringBuilder

    - #### leftShift

          public static java.lang.StringBuilder leftShift(java.lang.StringBuilder self,
                                                          java.lang.Object value)

      Overloads the left shift operator to provide an easy way to append multiple objects as string representations to a StringBuilder.
      Parameters:
        `self` - a StringBuilder
        `value` - a value to append
      Returns:
        the StringBuilder on which this operation was invoked

    - #### putAt

          public static void putAt(java.lang.StringBuilder self,
                                   IntRange range,
                                   java.lang.Object value)

      Support the range subscript operator for StringBuilder. Index values are treated as characters within the builder.
      Parameters:
        `self` - a StringBuilder
        `range` - a Range
        `value` - the object that's toString() will be inserted

    - #### putAt

          public static void putAt(java.lang.StringBuilder self,
                                   EmptyRange range,
                                   java.lang.Object value)

      Support the range subscript operator for StringBuilder.
      Parameters:
        `self` - a StringBuilder
        `range` - a Range
        `value` - the object that's toString() will be inserted

    - #### plus

          public static java.lang.String plus(java.lang.StringBuilder self,
                                              java.lang.String value)

      Appends a String to this StringBuilder.
      Parameters:
        `self` - a StringBuilder
        `value` - a String
      Returns:
        a String
