String
======

Description
-----------

The String class, part of the core as of version 0019, allows you to
use and manipulate strings of text in more complex ways than character
arrays do. You can concatenate Strings, append to them, search for and
replace substrings, and more. It takes more memory than a simple
character array, but it is also more useful.



For reference, character arrays are referred to as strings with a
small s, and instances of the String class are referred to as
Strings with a capital S. Note that constant strings, specified in
"double quotes" are treated as char arrays, not instances of the
String class.
