+		Simple, Consistent Wrappers for Common String Operations // A
+		consistent, simple and easy to use set of wrappers around the
+		fantastic 'stringi' package. All function and argument names
+		(and positions) are consistent, all functions deal with "NA"'s
+		and zero length vectors in the same way, and the output from
+		one function is easy to feed into the input of another.
