It would be great to have an effective
#public synchronized boolean match(CharSequence pattern, CharSequence input)
and
#public synchronized String substitute(CharSequence expression, CharSequence 
input)
methods.
Otherwise we need to copy the CharSequence into the String,
which is cumbersome both in notation and in performance.

I hope there would be a way for you to achieve it
without breaking compatibility with earlier JDKs (if you care).
