    Or a person could just look at the docs. In the index
you see "Builtin Types" towards the top. You don't see
"string" there at first - then you notice a subheading
"More String Operations" under "Sequence Types". You
go to More String Operations and the first thing you
see is a description of how "%" works for strings.
