string_utils

Library "string_utils"
Collection of string utilities that can be used to replace sub-strings in a string and string functions
that are not part of the standard library.
This a more simple replacement of my previous string_variables library since it uses types for better
performance due to data locality and methods that give a more intuitive API.
