 ABSTRACT 
==========

 This TIP proposes moving several existing string-related commands to be 
 options in the existing top-level *string* command. 

 RATIONALE 
===========

 There is an existing top-level *string* command already. However, there 
 are other existing top-level string-related commands that for 
 consistency should be options in the existing *string* command. 

 These additional string command options would further centralize all 
 string-related commands, making it easier for new users to see all the 
 related string commands. 

 SPECIFICATION 
===============

 Additional *string* command options would be added utilizing existing 
 top-level commands, using the following syntax: 

   string split         ;equivalent to split
   string format        ;equivalent to format
   string scan          ;equivalent to scan
   string subst         ;equivalent to subst

 Each represents the existing command that is commented. The arguments 
 to each would remain what the current command takes. 

 The old commands could then potentially be eventually deprecated: 

   split
   format
   scan
   subst
