+ Str - String Library
+
+ TODO
+
+ o look at printf ideas from ../stdio/printf!!
+ o look at ../strnatcmp
+
+ The following *have* to be done before 1.0.0:
+
+ o perhaps a str_shave() or str_strip() function which
+ allows one to strip off characters out of a set from
+ begin and end of a string. Usually for zapping whitespaces
+ from begin and end of string.
+ => str_shave(" \t foo bar ", " \t\n") => "foo bar"
+
+ o use stdio-style "t" strings insead of STR_TRIGRAPH bitmasks
+ o finish str_test.c: more tests
+ o Dean wrote: btw -- str_compare taking a mode argument doesn't let you trim a few

+
+ The following *could* be done before 1.0.0:
+
+ o Unicode/UTF-8 support!!
+ o str_encode/str_decode:
+ - plain base64
+ - strict base64 (with newlines and padding, etc.)
+ o str to/from symbol conversion:
+ - long str_symbol(char *str);
+ o str_format merged with strptime
+ o str_locate could become a "mode" argument which
+ indicates whether "s" is small or large and if
+ it is small a (faster) brute force search could be done.
+ o str_parse could support s/.../g or even m/.../g
+ o one could add "vstr" support with own malloc

+ it looks like a nice way to avoid thinking about lengths.

+
+ Hmmm... yes, I initially left our the /g variant because I thought just
+ about _matching_ like in m/.../g. But that was silly. You're right,
+ for s/.../ the global flag is very important. It is currently still
+ not implemented, but I've now added it to my TODO list for Str. OTOH
+ your s/\//:/g usually can be performed more easier without str_parse,
+ of course. Just use str_span() in a loop and replace the underlaying
+ character in each step until str_span reached the end of the string.
