My new method doesn't have problems with concatenating but no solution so far has gotten around converting an integer into a String or CharSequence. Any time you put an integer where a String should be, java automatically uses Integer.toString(i) to build a String out of it which allocates a char[] and also makes a new String.
So, besides ripping out stringSize and getChars from integer and holding my own char[] for the converted int, is there a clean way to handle that without new allocations?
