String libraries

What language has the best built-in string library? Racket's one is very poor for example, Python is much better in that regard.

CLISP obviously.
If they add correct UTF-8 support to O'Caml, then O'Caml.

Wait, empty sequences, zeros, nu-err, None, and other values can be false values? This sucks.
