Expand the abbreviated string type and its conversion builtin to the full
word everywhere:
str -> string (the immutable-string type)
str(x) -> str -> string(x) -> string (the stringify builtin;
what `{…}` interpolation calls)
Types are recognized by identifier, and llty maps both spellings to LLVM
`ptr`, so this is an atomic source rewrite: type annotations, the Ludic
type tags, the builtin name/dispatch, and the interpolation desugar, plus
the grammars, LSP, docs (type-str -> type-string, fn-str -> fn-string), and
inventory. int/bool stay (universally accepted, like Math).
Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; all suites green (45/24/29); site + check.py OK.

Returns how many bytes are in <code>s</code>, not counting the terminating zero. It is the same count as the bare <code>len(s)</code>, exposed under the <code>Text</code> namespace for discoverability. Use it to size a HUD field, walk a string by index, or check for emptiness with <code>Text.length(s) == 0</code>.

Parameters:
|
|
- `s` — the string to measure

var label: string = "player one"
|

|
handler Draw phase Render {
|
|
let width = Text.length(label) * 6 # 6 px per glyph
|
|
}

}
