Thanks for your response. All I mean by 'string function' is a bit of 
code that produces a string. Using my example, 'person.name' and 
'person.name.upcase' are different string functions. I don't know if I'm 
using the right terminology, but that's what I mean. If I was to define 
all of these 'string functions' as individual methods, it would be a lot 
of additional hard code and I would still have these method names locked 
into the db.
