Aha. That was not at _all_ clear from the docs. The implication there is that 
String inherits all methods of NSString, not that most of the NSString methods 
have been manually copied into String.

I'd bet money on it, actually. There's no reason for them to rewrite those 
methods. And the annotation "[Foundation]" on many of the String method docs 
surely means that they're bridged to the NSString implementations.

Anyway, thanks for clearing that up.
