ECMAScript: String and RegExp

Modules

The main part of String features: modules es.string.from-code-point, es.string.raw, es.string.iterator, es.string.split, es.string.code-point-at, es.string.ends-with, es.string.includes, es.string.repeat, es.string.pad-start, es.string.pad-end, es.string.starts-with, es.string.trim, es.string.trim-start, es.string.trim-end, es.string.match-all, es.string.replace-all, es.string.at-alternative, es.string.is-well-formed, es.string.to-well-formed.

Adding support of well-known symbols @@match, @@replace, @@search and @@split and direct .exec calls to related String methods, modules es.string.match, es.string.replace, es.string.search and es.string.split.

Annex B methods. Modules es.string.anchor, es.string.big, es.string.blink, es.string.bold, es.string.fixed, es.string.fontcolor, es.string.fontsize, es.string.italics, es.string.link, es.string.small, es.string.strike, es.string.sub, es.string.sup, es.string.substr, es.escape and es.unescape.

RegExp features: modules es.regexp.constructor, es.regexp.escape, es.regexp.dot-all, es.regexp.flags, es.regexp.sticky and es.regexp.test.
