<pre>Our help regarding String type and related functions (e.g., Mid) needs
clarifications:
1. There's no mention that indexing of characters starts from 1. (This may be
confusing, when users don't see the difference between UNO API, where normal is
0-based indexing, and BASIC functions.)
2. There are multiple mentions of "max characters is 65535". This is wrong;
actually, strings may be as long as 2G characters.
See e.g.:
