  # The StringConversions-Module is a collection of available
  # Transformations. Every method is given a string as single argument
  # and is expected to return a transformed string. The only exception
  # from this is general rule is the replace method which also takes a
  # replacement table.

  # This enables chaining and eases extending the capabilities.
