Erlang simple string

A wrapper library that attempts to make Erlang's string functions in the string, lists, erlang, and re modules seem coherent to beginners.

The initial version is purely a wrapper for traditional list-based strings. Future versions may:

• rename some functions to make them more familiar to developers coming from other languages
• fill some gaps for string functionality
• add support for binary strings across the set

The library is under the (2-clause) Simplified BSD license.

4. Open file index.html in the doc subfolder.

How to run tests

2. Lounch code c(sstr). c(sstr_tests). eunit:test(sstr). in the shell and analyze the results.
