/**
	The basic String class.

	A haxe String is immutable, it is not possible to modify individual
	characters. No method of this class changes the state of [this] String.

	Strings can be constructed using the string literal syntax "string value".

	String can be concatenated by using the + operator. If an operand is not a
	String, it is passed through Std.string() first.
