Re: SWRL string builtins -- suggestion

This may be a bad idea. In English, a lot of functions on strings
can be implemented by using functions on individual characters of
the string. So a 'charAt' function seems very tempting. But in
many other languages, things are not as simple as that. Of course
this depends on the operation and the language.
