[Gd-hackers] string-extensions library

[Dean Powell]

Hi, All:

I've been digging through the documentation attached to the web site and
have started poking around with some actual code.  A couple of questions
have come to mind:

1) I can't find any reference to a substring() function.  Have I just missed
that, or does dylan currently lack such a function?

2) <string> looks like it should be immutable.  Is <byte-string> the mutable
version of a string?  If so, shouldn't it instead be called a
<stretchy-string> to follow the naming standards of other resizeable
collection objects?

Thanks in advance for any input to the "newbie" questions.

Best Regards,
