var utf8CString: ContiguousArray<CChar>A contiguously stored null-terminated UTF-8 representation of the string.
subscript(String.Index) -> CharacterAccesses the character at the given position.
subscript(Range<String.Index>) -> Substringfunc append(Character)Appends the given character to the string.
func append(String)Appends the given string to this string.
