Cuts out the first appearance of the string sep from this string, in other words,
returns a tuple of two strings and a bool, the first string is the substring before
the first appreance of sep, the second string is the substring after the first
appearance of sep. The bool result is true iff sep appears in this string.

If sep does not appear in this string at all, return this string as the first string,
the empty string as the second, and false as the bool.

Get the dynamic type of this instance. For value instances `x`, this is
equal to `type_of x`, but for `x` with a `ref` type `x.dynamic_type` gives
the actual runtime type, while `type_of x` results in the static
compile-time type.

There is no dynamic type of a type instance since this would result in an
endless hierarchy of types. So for Type values, dynamic_type is redefined
to just return Type.type.

Splits this string at codepoints where p is true and returns the result as a

evaluated to be true by p, this does not cause empty strings to be added to
the result list, rather this case is being treated as being one big separator.

[Abstract feature]
equality implements the default equality relation for values of this type.

This relation must be

- reflexive (equality a b),
- symmetric (equality a b = equality b a), and
- transitive ((equality a b && equality b c) : equality a c).

result is true iff 'a' is considered to represent the same abstract value
as 'b'.

§(codepoints Sequence codepoint)
:
Any
 is
 
[Inherited from  String]
create string from the given codepoints
create string by concatenating the results of $a[a.indices].

This uses a growing array if further strings are appended using 'infix +',
so it avoids quadratic runtime caused if each 'infix +' would create its
own concatenation-string.

The performance of creating a string a0+a1+a2+...+a<n> is in O(n) since the
backing array is shared and doubled in size when full (so the final array size
is less than 2n in size and the sum of all arrays is less than 4n = 2n + n +
n/2+n/4+...).

The performance of iterating the utf8 bytes of a string is O(l+n) for an
array of length l created by concatenating n sub-strings.

Is this type assignable to a type parameter with constraint `T`?

The result of this is a compile-time constant that can be used to specialize
code for a particular type.

is_of_integer_type(n T : numeric) => T : integer
say (is_of_integer_type 1234) # true
say (is_of_integer_type 3.14) # false

it is most useful in conjunction preconditions or `if` statements as in

pair(a,b T) is
