    # Chars enables you to work transparently with UTF-8 encoding in the Ruby
    # String class without having extensive knowledge about the encoding. A
    # Chars object accepts a string upon initialization and proxies String
    # methods in an encoding safe manner. All the normal String methods are also
    # implemented on the proxy.
    #
    # String methods are proxied through the Chars object, and can be accessed
    # through the +mb_chars+ method. Methods which would normally return a
    # String object now return a Chars object so methods can be chained.

    # no explicit class checks are made. If certain methods do explicitly check
    # the class, call +to_s+ before you pass chars objects to them.
