+## String.size(s: string) : nat
+
+Get the size of a string. [Michelson only supports ASCII strings](http://tezos.gitlab.io/whitedoc/michelson.html#constants) 
+so for now you can assume that each character takes one byte of storage.

+## String.length(s: string) : nat
+
+Alias for `String.size`.
+
+## String.slice(pos1: nat, pos2: nat, s: string) : string
+
+Get the substring of `s` between `pos1` inclusive and `pos2` inclusive. For example
+the string "tata" given to the function below would return "at".
