==================== Summary ====================

Ancestors: Collections-ul.753, Collections-nice.753

Merge

Collections-ul.753:
        - minor tweaks for String class >> #compare:with:collated: and String >> #findSubstring:in:startingAt:matchTable:

Collections-nice.753:
        Nuke obsolete brace constructs used by compiler long long ago.

Since encoder v3 (plus closures) there is a dedicated byte code for constructing those arrays dynamically, so the #braceWith: like messages are not sent for a while and won't be used anymore in foreseeable future.
