title: Front-popping a Java String
body: <p>Having read the documentation of Java's String class, it doesn't appear to support popping from front(which does make sense since it's basically a char array). Is there an easy way to do something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>String firstLetter = someString.popFront();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which would remove the first character from the string and return it?</p>
