		Built-in string class.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		This is the built-in string class (and the one used by GDScript). It supports Unicode and provides all necessary means for string handling. Strings are reference-counted and use a copy-on-write approach, so passing them around is cheap in resources.

				Performs a case-sensitive comparison to another string. Returns [code]-1[/code] if less than, [code]1[/code] if greater than, or [code]0[/code] if equal. "less than" or "greater than" are determined by the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters]Unicode code points[/code] of each string, which roughly matches the alphabetical order.
				[b]Behavior with different string lengths:[/b] Returns [code]1[/code] if the "base" string is longer than the [code]to[/code] string or [code]-1[/code] if the "base" string is shorter than the [code]to[/code] string. Keep in mind this length is determined by the number of Unicode codepoints, [i]not[/i] the actual visible characters.
				[b]Behavior with empty strings:[/b] Returns [code]-1[/code] if the "base" string is empty, [code]1[/code] if the [code]to[/code] string is empty or [code]0[/code] if both strings are empty.
				To get a boolean result from a string comparison, use the [code]==[/code] operator instead. See also [method nocasecmp_to] and [method naturalnocasecmp_to].

			<description>
				Performs a case-insensitive [i]natural order[/i] comparison to another string. Returns [code]-1[/code] if less than, [code]1[/code] if greater than, or [code]0[/code] if equal.

Internally, lowercase characters will be converted to uppercase during the comparison.
				When used for sorting, natural order comparison will order suites of numbers as expected by most people. If you sort the numbers from 1 to 10 using natural order, you will get [code][1, 2, 3, ...][/code] instead of [code][1, 10, 2, 3, ...][/code].

				[b]Behavior with empty strings:[/b] Returns [code]-1[/code] if the "base" string is empty, [code]1[/code] if the [code]to[/code] string is empty or [code]0[/code] if both strings are empty.
				To get a boolean result from a string comparison, use the [code]==[/code] operator instead. See also [method nocasecmp_to] and [method casecmp_to].

			<description>
				Splits the string by a [code]delimiter[/code] string and returns an array of the substrings, starting from right.
				The splits in the returned array are sorted in the same order as the original string, from left to right.
				If [code]maxsplit[/code] is specified, it defines the number of splits to do from the right up to [code]maxsplit[/code]. The default value of 0 means that all items are split, thus giving the same result as [method split].
				Example:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var some_string = "One,Two,Three,Four"
				var some_array = some_string.rsplit(",", true, 1)
				print(some_array.size()) # Prints 2
				print(some_array[0]) # Prints "Four"
				print(some_array[1]) # Prints "Three,Two,One"
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				// There is no Rsplit.

			<description>
				Splits the string by a [code]delimiter[/code] string and returns an array of the substrings. The [code]delimiter[/code] can be of any length.
				If [code]maxsplit[/code] is specified, it defines the number of splits to do from the left up to [code]maxsplit[/code]. The default value of [code]0[/code] means that all items are split.
				Example:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var some_string = "One,Two,Three,Four"
				var some_array = some_string.split(",", true, 1)
				print(some_array.size()) # Prints 2
				print(some_array[0]) # Prints "Four"
				print(some_array[1]) # Prints "Three,Two,One"
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				var someString = "One,Two,Three,Four";
				var someArray = someString.Split(",", true); // This is as close as it gets to Godots API.
				GD.Print(someArray[0]); // Prints "Four"
				GD.Print(someArray[1]); // Prints "Three,Two,One"
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
				If you need to split strings with more complex rules, use the [RegEx] class instead.

			<description>
				Converts the String (which is a character array) to ASCII/Latin-1 encoded [PackedByteArray] (which is an array of bytes). The conversion is faster compared to [method to_utf8_buffer], as this method assumes that all the characters in the String are ASCII/Latin-1 characters, unsupported characters are replaced with spaces.

			<description>
				Converts the String (which is an array of characters) to UTF-8 encode [PackedByteArray] (which is an array of bytes). The conversion is a bit slower than [method to_ascii_buffer], but supports all UTF-8 characters. Therefore, you should prefer this function over [method to_ascii_buffer].
