# Returns the character at the +position+ treating the string as an array (where 0 is the first character).

# Examples:
# "hello".at(0) # => "h"
# "hello".at(4) # => "o"
# "hello".at(10) # => nil
def at(position)
self[position, 1]
end
# Returns the remaining of the string from the +position+ treating the string as an array (where 0 is the first character).
#
# Examples:
# "hello".from(0) # => "hello"
# "hello".from(2) # => "llo"
# "hello".from(10) # => nil
def from(position)
self[position..-1]
end
# Returns the beginning of the string up to the +position+ treating the string as an array (where 0 is the first character).

# Examples:
# "hello".to(0) # => "h"

# "hello".to(10) # => "hello"
