+with platform-independent functions known to Java, Perl, Python, PHP, and Ruby
+programmers.  Among available features there are: pattern searching
+ (e.g.  via regular expressions), random string generation, string collation,
+transliteration, concatenation, date-time formatting and parsing, etc.")
