/**
 * This namespace contains utility functions for handling strings.
 *
 * The functions here are intended to provide an easy way to
 * cut/slice/splice words inside sentences in whatever order desired.
 * While the main focus of KStringHandler is words (ie characters
 * separated by spaces/tabs), the two core functions here (split()
 * and join()) will allow you to use any character as a separator
 * This will make it easy to redefine what a 'word' means in the
 * future if needed.
 *
 * The function names and calling styles are based on python and mIRC's
 * scripting support.
 *
 * The ranges are a fairly powerful way of getting/stripping words from
 * a string. These ranges function, for the large part, as they would in
 * python. See the word(const QString&, int) and remword(const QString&, int)
 * functions for more detail.
 *
 * The methods here are completely stateless.  All strings are cut
 * on the fly and returned as new qstrings/qstringlists.
 *
