 format(fmt,str) returns a formatted string according to the
 format instructions in 'fmt'.

format : (STR,LSTR) -> STR

 format(fmt,[s1,s2,..]) returns a formatted string according to the
 format instructions in 'fmt'.

fmtStrIter : STR -> STR

 fmtStrIter(sep) provides a format string that can be used
 in 'format' to iterate over a list of strings.

join : (STR,LSTR) -> STR

 join(sep,[s1,s2,s3,...]) joins the strings s1,s2,... by the
 separator string 'sep'.

atomize : STR -> LSTR

 atomize(str) segments the string 'str' into a list of character
 string (not the same as Character!). Applying 'concat' to the
 resulting list will restore the string.

ascii : STR -> List Integer

 ascii(str) returns the ASCII code (ord) of each character as
 a list of positive integers.

radixEnglish : Integer -> STR

 radix(n) gives a sring represenation of an integer as an English
 numeral.

radixRoman : Integer -> STR

 radix(n) gives a sring represenation of an integer as a Roman
 numeral.

radixOldRoman : Integer -> STR

 radix(n) gives a sring represenation of an integer as an old Roman
 numeral.

format : (STR,INT) -> STR

 format(fmt,n) formats an integer number according to fmt:
 Radix ~R, Decimal ~D, Binary ~B, Octal ~O, ~Hex ~X. Modifiers:
 "@":sign, ":":commas, prefix: mincols, padchar ...: e.g. ~12@:D
 yields "+44,452,666,888,888".

 newline() -> "~%"

freshline : STR
