NAME
       MouseX::NativeTraits::Str - Helper trait for Str attributes

SYNOPSIS
	 package MyHomePage;
	 use Mouse;

	 has 'text' => (
	     traits    => ['String'],
	     is        => 'rw',
	     isa       => 'Str',
	     default   => q{},
	     handles   => {
		 add_text     => 'append',
		 replace_text => 'replace',
	     },
	 );

	 my $page = MyHomePage->new();
	 $page->add_text("foo"); # same as $page->text($page->text . "foo");

DESCRIPTION
       This module provides a simple string attribute, to which mutating string operations can be applied more easily (no need to make an lvalue
       attribute metaclass or use temporary variables). Additional methods are provided for completion.

PROVIDED METHODS
       These methods are implemented in MouseX::NativeTraits::MethodProvider::Str. It is important to note that all those methods do in place
       modification of the value stored in the attribute.

       inc Increments the value stored in this slot using the magical string autoincrement operator. Note that Perl doesn't provide analogous
	   behavior in "--", so "dec" is not available.

       append($string)
	   Append a string, like ".=".

       prepend($string)
	   Prepend a string.

       replace($pattern, $replacement)
	   Performs a regexp substitution ("s" in perlop).  A code references will be accepted for the replacement, causing the regexp to be
	   modified with a single "e". "/smxi" can be applied using the "qr" operator.

       replace($pattern, $replacement)
	   Performs a regexp substitution ("s" in perlop) with the "g" flag.  A code references will be accepted for the replacement, causing the
	   regexp to be modified with a single "e". "/smxi" can be applied using the "qr" operator.

       match($pattern)
	   Like "replace" but without the replacement. Provided mostly for completeness.

       chop
	   "chop" in perlfunc

       chomp
	   "chomp" in perlfunc

       clear
	   Sets the string to the empty string (not the value passed to "default").

       length
	   "length" in perlfunc

       substr
	   "substr" in perlfunc. We go to some lengths to match the different functionality based on "substr"'s arity.
