#] +-----+
#] Unicode [chrs, sub-strings, etc] :  
#]    many related string optrs are in lists.ndf 
#] str_to_unicodeL  IS OP  str  -  convert a string to a list of unicode characters (not unicode # sequences)
#] str_cutUnicodeBy_chrL  IS OP  str  chrUnicodeL  - cuts str into words by removing chrL (unicode)
#] str_getUnicode_chrL  IS OP  str  chrL  - cuts str into words by geting chrL (unicode)
#]      18Oct2021 NEEDS FIXING!!!!  


#] +-----+
#] string cleanup 
#] str_wrapWithApos  IS OP  str  -  convert str to string with apostrophes, or if not a string return
#] str_wrapWithAposAddTab  IS OP  str  -  convert str to string with apos & tab, or return input
#] str_getLastNonSpcTabBefore_posn  IS OP  str  posn -  retrieves the last non-whitespace character 
#] chrAsStr_toUpperCase  IS OP  chr  -  convert a character to upper case, 
#]      chrAsStr is compared to standard ASCII lower case, which is a unique (as in culled) set of chrs
#]      non-Unicode-capable coding 
#] chrAsStr_toLowerCase  IS OP  chr  -  convert a character to lower case, (non-Unicode)
#] str_toUpperCase  IS OP  str  -  convert all letters in a string to upper case, (non-Unicode)

#]      watch out for acronyms!, (non-Unicode)
#] set_globalChrSets  IS OP  chrSet1  chrSet2  - redefine global chrSets[1,2] 
#]      chrSets[1,2] are defined as globals to enhance the efficiency of chrSet operators!!
#]      note that one can link multiple charSets for g_chrSet[1,2], but must be in order, same shape
#] chrAsStr_changeChrSet  IS OP  chrAsStr  - return corresponding chrAsStr in newChrSet, 
#]      or current chrAstr if no correspondance, must preset globals g_chrSet[1,2]
#]      21Nov2021 because each chr is a string, I think this can handle unicode?
#] chrL_changeChrSet  IS OP  chrL  - change chrsAsStrs in chrL from g_chrSet1 to g_chrSet2
#] str_changeChrSet  IS OP  str  oldChrSet  newChrSet  - change every oldChrSet in str to newChrSet
