• rpad( str, len[, pad] ): right pad a string.
• rtrimN( str, n[, chars] ): trim n characters from the end of a string.
• rtrim( str ): trim whitespace characters from the end of a string.
• snakecase( str ): convert a string to snake case.
• splitGraphemeClusters( str ): split a string by its grapheme cluster breaks.
• startcase( str ): capitalize the first letter of each word in a string.
• startsWith( str, search[, position] ): test if a string starts with the characters of another string.
• substringAfterLast( str, search[, fromIndex] ): return the part of a string after the last occurrence of a specified substring.
• substringAfter( str, search[, fromIndex] ): return the part of a string after a specified substring.
• substringBeforeLast( str, search ): return the part of a string before the last occurrence of a specified substring.
• substringBefore( str, search ): return the part of a string before a specified substring.
• graphemeClusters2iteratorRight( src[, mapFcn[, thisArg]] ): create an iterator which iterates from right to left over grapheme clusters.
• graphemeClusters2iterator( src[, mapFcn[, thisArg]] ): create an iterator which iterates over grapheme clusters.
• toWellFormed( str ): create a new well-formed string.
• trim( str ): trim whitespace characters from the beginning and end of a string.
