| Subject: | string function documentation |
The following behaviour is clearly correct, but I think it is undocumented: Various functions in the String and Str modules accept "String.length s" as a valid character index for "s". For example, Str.string_match regexp s (String.length s) does not raise an Invalid_argument exception, but returns true or false depending on whether regexp allows an empty string. As mentioned above, I see that this is correct. Should the documentation should be changed to mention this behaviour?
