String Extensions

This module contains utility functions for string manipulation. All functions are registered on the global string table and can be accessed as string.example(my_string) or as my_string:example().

For all functions operating on filesystem paths, "\" and "/" are treated as equivalent path separators. All filesystem paths may be absolute or relative.
