public final class StringW
extends java.lang.Object

A set of String library static methods. While extending String or StringBuffer would have been the nicest solution, that is not possible, so a simple set of static methods seems the most workable. Method ideas have so far been taken from the PHP4, Ruby and .NET languages.
