class String
# == Multibyte proxy
#
# +mb_chars+ is a multibyte safe proxy for string methods.
#
# In Ruby 1.8 and older it creates and returns an instance of the ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars class which
# encapsulates the original string. A Unicode safe version of all the String methods are defined on this proxy
# class. If the proxy class doesn't respond to a certain method, it's forwarded to the encapsulated string.
#
# name = 'Claus Müller'
# name.reverse # => "rell??M sualC"
# name.length # => 13
#
# name.mb_chars.reverse.to_s # => "rellüM sualC"
# name.mb_chars.length # => 12
#
# In Ruby 1.9 and newer +mb_chars+ returns +self+ because String is (mostly) encoding aware. This means that
# it becomes easy to run one version of your code on multiple Ruby versions.
#
# == Method chaining
#
# All the methods on the Chars proxy which normally return a string will return a Chars object. This allows
# method chaining on the result of any of these methods.
#
# name.mb_chars.reverse.length # => 12
#
# == Interoperability and configuration
#
# The Chars object tries to be as interchangeable with String objects as possible: sorting and comparing between
# String and Char work like expected. The bang! methods change the internal string representation in the Chars
# object. Interoperability problems can be resolved easily with a +to_s+ call.
#
# For more information about the methods defined on the Chars proxy see ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars. For
# information about how to change the default Multibyte behavior see ActiveSupport::Multibyte.
