I believe this paragraph is redundant, now that `StringReader` is a 
somewhat-deprecated API that we aim to migrate away from. We can note these 
differences in the API notes of `StringReader`.

src/java.base/share/classes/java/io/Reader.java line 161:

I believe these 2 paragraphs are all redundant besides the initial `The 
returned stream is initially open.` sentence: those are duplicating information 
already available from `Reader::close` specification.

Closing `StringReader` is optional but its specification doesn't mention this. 
I think we don't need to mention if closing is optional, so that one sentence 
is sufficient.

src/java.base/share/classes/java/io/Reader.java line 163:

Suggestion:

     * <p>The returned reader supports the {@link #mark mark()} operation.

Should we give this factory a more specific name so we don't clash in the 
future? For example, if we add another factory `of(A a)` for interface `A`, 
then it would be confusing to have an instance of `interface C extends 
CharSequence, A` to be passed to `of`.
