- *  call-seq:
- *    String.new(string = '') -> new_string
- *    String.new(string = '', encoding: encoding) -> new_string
- *    String.new(string = '', capacity: size) -> new_string
- *
- *  Returns a new \String that is a copy of +string+.
- *
- *  With no arguments, returns the empty string with the Encoding <tt>ASCII-8BIT</tt>:
- *    s = String.new
- *    s # => ""
- *    s.encoding # => #<Encoding:ASCII-8BIT>
- *
- *  With the single \String argument +string+, returns a copy of +string+
- *  with the same encoding as +string+:
- *    s = String.new("Que veut dire \u{e7}a?")
- *    s # => "Que veut dire \u{e7}a?"
- *    s.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
- *
- *  Literal strings like <tt>""</tt> or here-documents always use
- *  Encoding@Script+encoding, unlike String.new.
- *
- *  With keyword +encoding+, returns a copy of +str+
- *  with the specified encoding:
- *    s = String.new(encoding: 'ASCII')
- *    s.encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
- *    s = String.new('foo', encoding: 'ASCII')
- *    s.encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
- *
- *  Note that these are equivalent:
- *    s0 = String.new('foo', encoding: 'ASCII')
- *    s1 = 'foo'.force_encoding('ASCII')
- *    s0.encoding == s1.encoding # => true
- *
- *  With keyword +capacity+, returns a copy of +str+;
- *  the given +capacity+ may set the size of the internal buffer,
- *  which may affect performance:
- *    String.new(capacity: 1) # => ""
- *    String.new(capacity: 4096) # => ""
- *
- *  The +string+, +encoding+, and +capacity+ arguments may all be used together:
- *
- *    String.new('hello', encoding: 'UTF-8', capacity: 25)
- *
