Typeclass :: String

The String typeclass is intended to free you from caring about the exact type of the strings moving in and out of your functions, so long as they conform to the string protocol. In this respect, it is very similar to the basestring type, but more future-proof and flexible. String is an amalgam of the following built-in types:

• str
• unicode

String is a subclass of the ImSequence typeclass, which represents the interface for immutable sequences.

Please consult the documentation on the Typeclass() class for more information.
