Libguestfs - Oct 2015 - [PATCH 0/5] mllib: Hide bad String functions and miscellaneous refactoring.

Hide/prevent the use of bad string functions like String.lowercase.
These are replaced by safe functions that won't break UTF-8 strings.

Other miscellaneous refactoring.

Rich.

2.5.0

In Common_utils, override the Char and String modules from stdlib.
This hides the original (stdlib) modules, and means that whenever you
use Char.foo or String.foo you are in fact calling the
Common_utils.Char.foo or Common_utils.String.foo function.

As it stands, this change does nothing, but it will allow us to drop
unsafe functions (like String.lowercase) and add extra functions.

The ones in the OCaml stdlib assume ISO-8859-1 bytes and strings, and
so can end up corrupting UTF-8 strings.

This is just a straight refactoring.  Various ad hoc string_*
functions that appeared in Common_utils have been renamed and placed
in the String.* namespace.  The old vs "new" functions are:

string_prefix  -> String.is_prefix
string_suffix  -> String.is_suffix
string_find    -> String.find
replace_str    -> String.replace
string_nsplit  -> String.nsplit
string_split   -> String.split
string_lines_split -> String.lines_split
string_random8 -> String.random8

Hm weren't we using that alias in our .ml files, usually?
Not a big deal, I just remember changes in the opposite way of this
patch, so just wondering what would be the preferred way (especially
that there is a .mli for this, so the alias won't pollute users of the
module).

which is not handling non-ASCII paths in Windows guests?

As mentioned yesterday on IRC, I'm torn about this one: the functions
would automatically alias functions with the same name, whenever
available in OCaml' stdlib.  Also (but this is more personal), reading
String.foo would make me think that it is part of the String module,
and go reading its help on the documentation of the String module.

Patches #1 to #4 LGTM.
I'm personally not convinced by patch #5, although I won't argue much
the other way round though.
