* 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, an index of +str.size+ identifies the end of the string.

* 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.

* In the latter two cases, a start index of +ary.size+ identifies the
|

* end of the array.

|

* Negative indices count backward from the end of the array (-1 is the last

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

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

* If indices are greater than the current capacity of the array, the array
