New issue 227 by [hidden email]: Squeak/Pharo String extensions  
methods don't work on multibyte strings
http://code.google.com/p/glassdb/issues/detail?id=227

Squeak/Pharo String extension methods ported to Gemstone tend to be  
implemented on String rather than CharacterCollection. This means that  
multibyte strings won't have access to these methods. For example take the  
following test for #truncate: on a multibyte string. The following test  
passes on Pharo 1.1.1 and fails on GLASS 1.0-beta.8.5


testMultiByteTruncate
        | multiByteString |
        multiByteString := 'hello', (String with: (Character value: 8364)).
       
        self assert: 'hell...' equals: (multiByteString truncate: 4)

Copied String methods in Grease-Core to CharacterCollection in  
Grease-GemStone-Core.
Added test cases for multiByte strings ... and addition String test classes.
Copied/moved a handful more of Squeak String methods to CharacterCollection  
adding tests along the way:
