What exactly do you mean by that?  There is String and StringIO - why 
create another class that can hold strings?

This does not store anything in a String object.  It just creates a new 
empty String.

Why?  What is the purpose of all this?

What exactly do you mean by "move"?  You can put Strings into a Hash - 
as keys and values.  But why?

Why not an Array?  A Hash will loose the insertion order.

Please provide enough information that someone can come up with proper 
suggestions.
