//! Octave string utility functions.
//!
//! This functions provide a C++ interface to most string functions
//! available in the Octave interpreter.
//!
//! Specializations for Array may consider its dimensions in addition
//! to the actual string contents.
//!
//! @attention
//! Octave's string comparison functions return true when strings are
//! are equal, just the opposite of the corresponding C library functions.
//! In addition, Octave's function only return bool and do not check
//! lexicographical order.

//! True if strings are the same.

//! ## Specialization for Array<char>
//!
//! When comparing whole Array of chars, the actual Array dimensions
//! are significant.  A column vector and row vector with the same
//! char array, will still return false.

//! Compares a string to the null-terminated character sequence

//! For purposes of comparison of dimensions, the character sequence
//! is considered to be a row vector.
