class String
# Returns the codepoint of the first character of the string, assuming a
# single-byte character encoding:
#
# "a".ord # => 97
# "à".ord # => 224, in ISO-8859-1
#
# This method is defined in Ruby 1.8 for Ruby 1.9 forward compatibility on
# these character encodings.
#
# <tt>ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars#ord</tt> is forward compatible with
# Ruby 1.9 on UTF8 strings:
#
# "a".mb_chars.ord # => 97
# "à".mb_chars.ord # => 224, in UTF8
#
# Note that the 224 is different in both examples. In ISO-8859-1 "à" is
# represented as a single byte, 224. In UTF8 it is represented with two
# bytes, namely 195 and 160, but its Unicode codepoint is 224. If we
# call +ord+ on the UTF8 string "à" the return value will be 195. That is
# not an error, because UTF8 is unsupported, the call itself would be
# bogus.
