These "use cases" don't convince me that there's a legitimate use case for string.letters etc. that the methods don't cover.
This is funny. In the C++ community there's a nearly unanimous consensus that way too much of the functionality of the standard strings is expressed as member functions.
Interesting. Python used to have the same attitude, hence the string module -- but the existence of multiple string types made methods more attractive. What's the alternative proposed for C++? --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
