Then another question came up.

There is one good reason to use class "String" in ad-hoc-tools, instead of a new 
class, that uses class "String": The constants.

If I write write

a = "this is a string"

an object of class "String" will be created. If I have my wrapper class 
"MyString" which uses class "String", I must use some construct like

a = MyString.new("this is my string")

Is there some possibility to shorten this?
