* May return a pointer to the caller-owned scratch buffer which must have
* scratchCapacity>=minCapacity.
* The returned buffer is only valid until the next operation
* on this Appendable.
*
* After writing at most *resultCapacity UChars, call appendString() with the
* pointer returned from this function and the number of UChars written.
* Many appendString() implementations will avoid copying UChars if this function
* returned an internal buffer.
*
* Partial usage example:
* \code
* int32_t capacity;
* UChar* buffer = app.getAppendBuffer(..., &capacity);
* ... Write n UChars into buffer, with n <= capacity.
* app.appendString(buffer, n);
* \endcode
* In many implementations, that call to append will avoid copying UChars.
*
* If the Appendable allocates or reallocates an internal buffer, it should use
* the desiredCapacityHint if appropriate.
* If a caller cannot provide a reasonable guess at the desired capacity,
* it should pass desiredCapacityHint=0.
*
* If a non-scratch buffer is returned, the caller may only pass
* a prefix to it to appendString().
* That is, it is not correct to pass an interior pointer to appendString().
*
* The default implementation always returns the scratch buffer.
