api Str provides Str, isEmpty, join
## Types
## A sequence of [UTF-8](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8) text characters.
##
## One #Str can be up to 2 gigabytes in size. If you need to store larger
## strings than that, you can split them into smaller chunks and operate
## on those instead of on one large #Str. This often runs faster in practice,
## even for strings much smaller than 2 gigabytes.
Str : [ @Str ]
## Convert
## Convert a #Float to a decimal string, rounding off to the given number of decimal places.
##
## Since #Float values are imprecise, it's usually best to limit this to the lowest
## number you can choose that will make sense for what you want to display.
##
## If you want to kep all the digits, passing #Int.highestSupported will accomplish this,
## but it's recommended to pass much smaller numbers instead.
##
## Passing a negative number for decimal places is equivalent to passing 0.
decimal : Int, Float -> Str
## Convert an #Int to a string.
int : Float -> Str
## Check
isEmpty : Str -> Bool
startsWith : Str, Str -> Bool
endsWith : Str, Str -> Bool
contains : Str, Str -> Bool
any : Str, Str -> Bool
all : Str, Str -> Bool
## Combine
## Combine a list of strings into a single string.
##
## >>> Str.join [ "a", "bc", "def" ]
join : List Str -> Str
## Combine a list of strings into a single string, with a separator
## string in between each.
##
## >>> Str.joinWith [ "one", "two", "three" ] ", "
joinWith : List Str, Str -> Str
padStart : Str, Int, Str -> Str
padEnd : Str, Int, Str -> Str
