+# <!-- rdoc-file=string.rb -->
+# A `String` object has an arbitrary sequence of bytes, typically representing
+# text or binary data. A `String` object may be created using String::new or as
+# literals.
+#
+# String objects differ from Symbol objects in that Symbol objects are designed
+# to be used as identifiers, instead of text or data.
+#
+# You can create a `String` object explicitly with:
+#
+# *   A [string literal](rdoc-ref:syntax/literals.rdoc@String+Literals).
+# *   A [heredoc literal](rdoc-ref:syntax/literals.rdoc@Here+Document+Literals).
+#
+# You can convert certain objects to Strings with:
+#
+# *   Method #String.
+#
+# Some `String` methods modify `self`. Typically, a method whose name ends with
+# `!` modifies `self` and returns `self`; often, a similarly named method
+# (without the `!`) returns a new string.
+#
+# In general, if both bang and non-bang versions of a method exist, the bang
+# method mutates and the non-bang method does not. However, a method without a
+# bang can also mutate, such as String#replace.
+#
+# ## Substitution Methods
+#
+# These methods perform substitutions:
+#
+# *   String#sub: One substitution (or none); returns a new string.
+# *   String#sub!: One substitution (or none); returns `self` if any changes,
+#     `nil` otherwise.
+# *   String#gsub: Zero or more substitutions; returns a new string.
+# *   String#gsub!: Zero or more substitutions; returns `self` if any changes,
+#     `nil` otherwise.
+#
+# Each of these methods takes:
+#
+# *   A first argument, `pattern` (String or Regexp), that specifies the
+#     substring(s) to be replaced.
+#
+# *   Either of the following:
+#
+#     *   A second argument, `replacement` (String or Hash), that determines the
+#         replacing string.
+#     *   A block that will determine the replacing string.
+#
+# The examples in this section mostly use the String#sub and String#gsub
+# methods; the principles illustrated apply to all four substitution methods.
+#
+# **Argument `pattern`**
+#
+# Argument `pattern` is commonly a regular expression:
+#
+#     s = 'hello'
+#     s.sub(/[aeiou]/, '*') # => "h*llo"
+#     s.gsub(/[aeiou]/, '*') # => "h*ll*"
+#     s.gsub(/[aeiou]/, '')  # => "hll"
+#     s.sub(/ell/, 'al')     # => "halo"
+#     s.gsub(/xyzzy/, '*')   # => "hello"
+#     'THX1138'.gsub(/\d+/, '00') # => "THX00"
+#
+# When `pattern` is a string, all its characters are treated as ordinary
+# characters (not as Regexp special characters):
+#
+#     'THX1138'.gsub('\d+', '00') # => "THX1138"
+#
+# **`String` `replacement`**
+#
+# If `replacement` is a string, that string determines the replacing string that
+# is substituted for the matched text.
+#
+# Each of the examples above uses a simple string as the replacing string.
+#
+# `String` `replacement` may contain back-references to the pattern's captures:
+#
+# *   `\n` (*n* is a non-negative integer) refers to `$n`.
+# *   `\k<name>` refers to the named capture `name`.
+#
+# See Regexp for details.
+#
+# Note that within the string `replacement`, a character combination such as
+# `$&` is treated as ordinary text, not as a special match variable. However,
+# you may refer to some special match variables using these combinations:
+#
+# *   `\&` and `\0` correspond to `$&`, which contains the complete matched
+#     text.
+# *   `\'` corresponds to `$'`, which contains the string after the match.
+# *   `\`` corresponds to `$``, which contains the string before the match.
+# *   `\+` corresponds to `$+`, which contains the last capture group.
+#
+# See Regexp for details.
+#
+# Note that `\\\` is interpreted as an escape, i.e., a single backslash.
+#
+# Note also that a string literal consumes backslashes. See [String
+# Literals](rdoc-ref:syntax/literals.rdoc@String+Literals) for details about
+# string literals.
+#
+# A back-reference is typically preceded by an additional backslash. For
+# example, if you want to write a back-reference `\&` in `replacement` with a
+# double-quoted string literal, you need to write `"..\\\\&.."`.
+#
+# If you want to write a non-back-reference string `\&` in `replacement`, you
+# need to first escape the backslash to prevent this method from interpreting it
+# as a back-reference, and then you need to escape the backslashes again to
+# prevent a string literal from consuming them: `"..\\\\\\\\&.."`.
+#
+# You may want to use the block form to avoid excessive backslashes.
+#
+# **\Hash `replacement`**
+#
+# If the argument `replacement` is a hash, and `pattern` matches one of its
+# keys, the replacing string is the value for that key:
+#
+#     h = {'foo' => 'bar', 'baz' => 'bat'}
+#     'food'.sub('foo', h) # => "bard"
+#
+# Note that a symbol key does not match:
+#
+#     h = {foo: 'bar', baz: 'bat'}
+#     'food'.sub('foo', h) # => "d"
+#
+# **Block**
+#
+# In the block form, the current match string is passed to the block; the
+# block's return value becomes the replacing string:
+#
+#     s = '@'
+#     '1234'.gsub(/\d/) { |match| s.succ! } # => "ABCD"
+#
+# Special match variables such as `$1`, `$2`, `$``, `$&`, and `$'` are set
+# appropriately.
+#
+# ## Whitespace in Strings
+#
+# In the class `String`, *whitespace* is defined as a contiguous sequence of
+# characters consisting of any mixture of the following:
+#
+# *   NL (null): `"\x00"`, `"\u0000"`.
+# *   HT (horizontal tab): `"\x09"`, `"\t"`.
+# *   LF (line feed): `"\x0a"`, `"\n"`.
+# *   VT (vertical tab): `"\x0b"`, `"\v"`.
+# *   FF (form feed): `"\x0c"`, `"\f"`.
+# *   CR (carriage return): `"\x0d"`, `"\r"`.
+# *   SP (space): `"\x20"`, `" "`.
+#
+# Whitespace is relevant for the following methods:
+#
+# *   #lstrip, #lstrip!: Strip leading whitespace.
+# *   #rstrip, #rstrip!: Strip trailing whitespace.
+# *   #strip, #strip!: Strip leading and trailing whitespace.
+#
+# ## `String` Slices
+#
+# A *slice* of a string is a substring selected by certain criteria.
+#
+# These instance methods utilize slicing:
+#
+# *   String#[] (aliased as String#slice): Returns a slice copied from `self`.
+# *   String#[]=: Mutates `self` with the slice replaced.
+# *   String#slice!: Mutates `self` with the slice removed and returns the
+#     removed slice.
+#
+# Each of the above methods takes arguments that determine the slice to be
+# copied or replaced.
+#
+# The arguments have several forms. For a string `string`, the forms are:
+#
+# *   `string[index]`
+# *   `string[start, length]`
+# *   `string[range]`
+# *   `string[regexp, capture = 0]`
+# *   `string[substring]`
+#
+# **`string[index]`**
+#
+# When a non-negative integer argument `index` is given, the slice is the
+# 1-character substring found in `self` at character offset `index`:
+#
+#     'bar'[0]      # => "b"
+#     'bar'[2]      # => "r"
+#     'bar'[20]     # => nil
+#     'тест'[2]     # => "с"
+#     'こんにちは'[4] # => "は"
+#
+# When a negative integer `index` is given, the slice begins at the offset given
+# by counting backward from the end of `self`:
+#
+#     'bar'[-3]      # => "b"
+#     'bar'[-1]      # => "r"
+#     'bar'[-20]     # => nil
+#
+# **`string[start, length]`**
+#
+# When non-negative integer arguments `start` and `length` are given, the slice
+# begins at character offset `start`, if it exists, and continues for `length`
+# characters, if available:
+#
+#     'foo'[0, 2]      # => "fo"
+#     'тест'[1, 2]     # => "ес"
+#     'こんにちは'[2, 2] # => "にち"
+#     # Zero length.
+#     'foo'[2, 0]      # => ""
+#     # Length not entirely available.
+#     'foo'[1, 200]    # => "oo"
+#     # Start out of range.
+#     'foo'[4, 2]      # => nil
+#
+# Special case: if `start` equals the length of `self`, the slice is a new empty
+# string:
+#
+#     'foo'[3, 2]    # => ""
+#     'foo'[3, 200]  # => ""
+#
+# When a negative `start` and non-negative `length` are given, the slice begins
+# by counting backward from the end of `self`, and continues for `length`
+# characters, if available:
+#
+#     'foo'[-2, 2]     # => "oo"
+#     'foo'[-2, 200]   # => "oo"
+#     # Start out of range.
+#     'foo'[-4, 2]     # => nil
+#
+# When a negative `length` is given, there is no slice:
+#
+#     'foo'[1, -1]   # => nil
+#     'foo'[-2, -1]  # => nil
+#
+# **`string[range]`**
+#
+# When a Range argument `range` is given, it creates a substring of `string`
+# using the indices in `range`. The slice is then determined as above:
+#
+#     'foo'[0..1]     # => "fo"
+#     'foo'[0, 2]     # => "fo"
+#
+#     'foo'[2...2]    # => ""
+#     'foo'[2, 0]     # => ""
+#
+#     'foo'[1..200]   # => "oo"
+#     'foo'[1, 200]   # => "oo"
+#
+#     'foo'[4..5]     # => nil
+#     'foo'[4, 2]     # => nil
+#
+#     'foo'[-4..-3]   # => nil
+#     'foo'[-4, 2]    # => nil
+#
+#     'foo'[3..4]     # => ""
+#     'foo'[3, 2]     # => ""
+#
+#     'foo'[-2..-1]   # => "oo"
+#     'foo'[-2, 2]    # => "oo"
+#
+#     'foo'[-2..197]  # => "oo"
+#     'foo'[-2, 200]  # => "oo"
+#
+# **`string[regexp, capture = 0]`**
+#
+# When the Regexp argument `regexp` is given, and the `capture` argument is `0`,
+# the slice is the first matching substring found in `self`:
+#
+#     'foo'[/o/]                # => "o"
+#     'foo'[/x/]                # => nil
+#     s = 'hello there'
+#     s[/[aeiou](.)\1/]        # => "ell"
+#     s[/[aeiou](.)\1/, 0]     # => "ell"
+#
+# If the argument `capture` is provided and not `0`, it should be either a
+# capture group index (integer) or a capture group name (String or Symbol); the
+# slice is the specified capture (see Regexp@Groups and Captures):
+#
+#     s = 'hello there'
+#     s[/[aeiou](.)\1/, 1] # => "l"
+#     s[/(?<vowel>[aeiou])(?<non_vowel>[^aeiou])/, "non_vowel"] # => "l"
+#     s[/(?<vowel>[aeiou])(?<non_vowel>[^aeiou])/, :vowel]      # => "e"
+#
+# If an invalid capture group index is given, there is no slice. If an invalid
+# capture group name is given, `IndexError` is raised.
+#
+# **`string[substring]`**
+#
+# When the single `String` argument `substring` is given, it returns the
+# substring from `self` if found, otherwise `nil`:
+#
+#     'foo'['oo'] # => "oo"
+#     'foo'['xx'] # => nil
+#

+# ### Methods for Converting to Non-`String`
+#
+# Each of these methods converts the contents of `self` to a non-`String`.
+#
+# *Characters, Bytes, and Clusters*
+#
+# *   #bytes: Returns an array of the bytes in `self`.
+# *   #chars: Returns an array of the characters in `self`.
+# *   #codepoints: Returns an array of the integer ordinals in `self`.
+# *   #getbyte: Returns the integer byte at the given index in `self`.
+# *   #grapheme_clusters: Returns an array of the grapheme clusters in `self`.
+#
+# *Splitting*
+#
+# *   #lines: Returns an array of the lines in `self`, as determined by a given
+#     record separator.
+# *   #partition: Returns a 3-element array determined by the first substring
+#     that matches a given substring or regexp.
+# *   #rpartition: Returns a 3-element array determined by the last substring
+#     that matches a given substring or regexp.
+# *   #split: Returns an array of substrings determined by a given delimiter --
+#     regexp or string -- or, if a block is given, passes those substrings to
+#     the block.
+#
+# *Matching*
+#
+# *   #scan: Returns an array of substrings matching a given regexp or string,
+#     or, if a block is given, passes each matching substring to the block.
+# *   #unpack: Returns an array of substrings extracted from `self` according to
+#     a given format.
+# *   #unpack1: Returns the first substring extracted from `self` according to a
+#     given format.
+#
+# *Numerics*
+#
+# *   #hex: Returns the integer value of the leading characters, interpreted as
+#     hexadecimal digits.
+# *   #oct: Returns the integer value of the leading characters, interpreted as
+#     octal digits.
+# *   #ord: Returns the integer ordinal of the first character in `self`.
+# *   #to_i: Returns the integer value of leading characters, interpreted as an
+#     integer.
+# *   #to_f: Returns the floating-point value of leading characters, interpreted
+#     as a floating-point number.
+#
+# *Strings and Symbols*
+#
+# *   #inspect: Returns a copy of `self`, enclosed in double quotes, with
+#     special characters escaped.
+# *   #intern (aliased as #to_sym): Returns the symbol corresponding to `self`.
+#
+# ### Methods for Iterating
+#
+# *   #each_byte: Calls the given block with each successive byte in `self`.
+# *   #each_char: Calls the given block with each successive character in
+#     `self`.
+# *   #each_codepoint: Calls the given block with each successive integer
+#     codepoint in `self`.
+# *   #each_grapheme_cluster: Calls the given block with each successive
+#     grapheme cluster in `self`.
+# *   #each_line: Calls the given block with each successive line in `self`, as
+#     determined by a given record separator.
+# *   #upto: Calls the given block with each string value returned by successive
+#     calls to #succ.

+  #
+  # *   On some OSes such as Mac OS, `crypt(3)` is not thread safe.
+  #
+  # *   So-called "traditional" usage of `crypt(3)` is very very very weak.
+  #     According to its manpage, Linux's traditional `crypt(3)` output has only
+  #     2**56 variations; too easy to brute force today.  And this is the default
+  #     behaviour.
+  #
+  # *   In order to make things robust some OSes implement so-called "modular"
+  #     usage. To go through, you have to do a complex build-up of the `salt_str`
+  #     parameter, by hand. Failure in generation of a proper salt string tends
+  #     not to yield any errors; typos in parameters are normally not detectable.
+  #
+  #     *   For instance, in the following example, the second invocation of
+  #         String#crypt is wrong; it has a typo in "round=" (lacks "s").  However
+  #         the call does not fail and something unexpected is generated.

+  #     abandoned by its author: see http://phk.freebsd.dk/sagas/md5crypt_eol/ .
+  #     For another instance module `$3$` is considered completely broken: see the

+  #
+  # *   On some OS such as Mac OS, there is no modular mode. Yet, as written
+  #     above, `crypt(3)` on Mac OS never fails. This means even if you build up a
