I'm going to work on some of the query functions tomorrow. Are there any issues with using comic book characters as my sample data?

Sorry @alorne, didn't see this until after I did a couple. I only did queryappend and prepend, so feel free to do the others. I'll move back to the "Other Language Updates" section.
No problem @srbaxter
Is there any info on QueryClear? I can't seem to get it functioning.

Same with queryreverse
@alorne I just went to Adobe's pages and put one of their examples in cfdocs's live pens and it worked for both.

I see, I didn't realize there were links, also i was using .queryClear() instead of .clear(). Thanks!
Looking through this ticket - is it done? looks like we have added most of these, but I didn't check them all.
@pfreitag There seem to be a couple missing, like QueryRowSwap and QueryInsertAt. I'm working on those two right now. For the other additions, not sure. I'll check those, too.
I added a new guide for using Array Notation in Strings. It may be beneficial to put a note on the RE... functions noting that the RegEx engine can be changed with the new useJavaAsRegexEngine flag in Application.cfc. I added all Member Functions missing from CF2016 and 2018. So if the guide for Arrow Functions is also already up, then this ticket should be complete now. @cfvonner See anything missing, Carl?
Awesome, I'm gonna close it, thanks @shawnoden for finishing it up, and everyone else involved in helping on this one!
If we see anything missing just open up a new ticket for that specific thing.
Added QueryRowSwap. #1428
Added QueryInsertAt #1429
