I'm a bit surprised this (and the original code) is throwing `OutOfMemoryError`
when running into the max array size. It is not truly an out of memory error,
but being an `Error`, it would evade standard catch `Exception` blocks. I
would think this is more of an `IllegalStateException` or perhaps something
array specific.
`OutOfMemoryError` is documented pretty specifically that an object allocation
failed after exhaustive GC, but no allocation or GC happened:

... which is not happening here at all. This leads me to believe the error is
not used correctly here.
Other reasons I find it surprising: `StringBuilder` is not documented to throw
this anywhere, it seems to just leak through from various methods implemented
by `AbstractStringBuilder`.
