/**
 * A sequence of UTF-16 code units.
 *
 * Strings are mainly used to represent text. A character may be represented by
 * multiple code points, each code point consisting of one or two code
 * units. For example the Papua New Guinea flag character requires four code
 * units to represent two code points, but should be treated like a single
 * character: "🇵🇬". Platforms that do not support the flag character may show
 * the letters "PG" instead. If the code points are swapped, it instead becomes
 * the Guadeloupe flag "🇬🇵" ("GP").
 *
 * A string can be either single or multiline. Single line strings are
 * written using matching single or double quotes, and multiline strings are
 * written using triple quotes. The following are all valid Dart strings:
 *
 *     'Single quotes';
 *     "Double quotes";
 *     'Double quotes in "single" quotes';
 *     "Single quotes in 'double' quotes";
 *
 *     '''A
 *     multiline
 *     string''';
 *
 *     """
 *     Another
 *     multiline
 *     string""";
 *
 * Strings are immutable. Although you cannot change a string, you can perform
 * an operation on a string and assign the result to a new string:
 *
 *     var string = 'Dart is fun';
 *     var newString = string.substring(0, 5);
 *
 * You can use the plus (`+`) operator to concatenate strings:
 *
 *     'Dart ' + 'is ' + 'fun!'; // 'Dart is fun!'
 *
 * You can also use adjacent string literals for concatenation:
 *
 *     'Dart ' 'is ' 'fun!';    // 'Dart is fun!'
 *
 * You can use `${}` to interpolate the value of Dart expressions
 * within strings. The curly braces can be omitted when evaluating identifiers:
 *
 *     string = 'dartlang';
 *     '$string has ${string.length} letters'; // 'dartlang has 8 letters'
 *
 * A string is represented by a sequence of Unicode UTF-16 code units
 * accessible through the [codeUnitAt] or the [codeUnits] members:
 *
 *     string = 'Dart';
 *     string.codeUnitAt(0); // 68
 *     string.codeUnits;     // [68, 97, 114, 116]
 *
 * The string representation of code units is accessible through the index
 * operator:
 *
 *     string[0];            // 'D'
 *
 * The characters of a string are encoded in UTF-16. Decoding UTF-16, which
 * combines surrogate pairs, yields Unicode code points. Following a similar
 * terminology to Go, we use the name 'rune' for an integer representing a
 * Unicode code point. Use the [runes] property to get the runes of a string:
 *
 *     string.runes.toList(); // [68, 97, 114, 116]
 *
 * For a character outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (plane 0) that is
 * composed of a surrogate pair, [runes] combines the pair and returns a
 * single integer.  For example, the Unicode character for a
 * musical G-clef ('𝄞') with rune value 0x1D11E consists of a UTF-16 surrogate
 * pair: `0xD834` and `0xDD1E`. Using [codeUnits] returns the surrogate pair,
 * and using `runes` returns their combined value:
 *
 *     var clef = '\u{1D11E}';
 *     clef.codeUnits;         // [0xD834, 0xDD1E]
 *     clef.runes.toList();    // [0x1D11E]
 *
 * The String class can not be extended or implemented. Attempting to do so
 * yields a compile-time error.
