src/java.base/share/classes/java/io/Reader.java line 214:

Just a drive-by observation, not for this PR to handle:

If four out of five `CharSequence` implementations in the JDK include fast-path 
methods for copying char ranges into an output buffer, perhaps it is time to 
introduce `CharSequence::getChars` as a default method? 

That way, code like this wouldn't need to special-case for the known 
fast-paths, and external implementations could also join the party.
