It's not possible. Built-in classes can't have methods added
to them.

You can define your own subclass of str and give it whatever
methods you want.

But in your case:

> for s in 'abc'.like( '(.)' ):

I would recommend making it a stand-alone function instead,
so that you would write

   for s in like('abc', '(.)'):
