`String` is Robot Framework's standard library for manipulating

verifying their contents (e.g. `Should Be String`).
Following keywords from `BuiltIn` library can also be used with strings:
- `Catenate`
- `Get Length`
- `Length Should Be`
- `Should (Not) Be Empty`
- `Should (Not) Be Equal (As Strings/Integers/Numbers)`
- `Should (Not) Match (Regexp)`
- `Should (Not) Contain`
- `Should (Not) Start With`
- `Should (Not) End With`
- `Convert To String`
