Now that the method got renamed from `readString()` to `readAllChars()` I'd
like to suggest that the return type should not be `String` anymore but
`CharSequence`. This would open potential for more efficient implementations.
For example, we can omit the final `.toString()` after `.subSequence()`,
effectively preventing the *double* copy implied (the first copy already was
created by `subSequence()`). *Iff* a caller essentially needs a `String` (for
whatever reason), he can add a `.toString()` *in the calling code* easily. But
unless that is the case, we should not *enforce* `String` for efficiency
reasons.
