* Element Reference --- If passed a single +index+, returns a substring of
|
||
|
* one character at that index. If passed a +start+ index and a +length+,
|
||
|
* returns a substring containing +length+ characters starting at the
|
||
|
* +index+. If passed a range, its beginning and end are interpreted as
|
||
|
* offsets delimiting the substring to be returned. In these three cases, if
|

|
* an index is negative, it is counted from the end of the string.

|

|
* In the latter two cases, the index identifies the place just before a character.

|
* Element Reference --- Returns the element at +index+, or returns a
|

|
* subarray starting at the +start+ index and continuing for +length+
|
||
|
* elements, or returns a subarray specified by +range+ of indices.

* Element Assignment --- Sets the element at +index+, or replaces a subarray

|
* from the +start+ index for +length+ elements, or replaces a subarray
