+The \module{string} module contains a number of useful constants and classes,
as well as some deprecated legacy functions that are also available as methods
on strings. See the module \refmodule{re}\refstmodindex{re} for string
functions based on regular expressions.
-In general, all of these objects are exposed directly in the \module{string}
