Re:A Cross-Platform String Library Written in Swift

Strings are one of the most difficult things to get right in any standard library. You can be like C and offer barebones support, but many developers will make mistakes. You can be like Java and offer much more complete support, but you can never quite satisfy everyone's use case and people complain. I personally would never have even thought to include functions like `kebabCased`, this is a very interesting take on a string library. Overall, good stuff.
