  A user-defined wrapper around string objects
  
  This class is "borrowed" from the Python 2.2 UserString and modified
  slightly for use with SCons.  It is *NOT* guaranteed to be fully compliant
  with the standard UserString class from all later versions of Python.
  In particular, it does not necessarily contain all of the methods found
  in later versions.
