class String
  # == Multibyte proxy
  #
  # +mb_chars+ is a multibyte safe proxy for string methods.
  #
  # 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.
  #
  #   >> "lj".mb_chars.upcase.to_s
  #   => "LJ"
  #
  # NOTE: Ruby 2.4 and later support native Unicode case mappings:
  #
  #   >> "lj".upcase
  #   => "LJ"
  #
  # == 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.
