REPL help mode: nothing on strings for lastindex

lastindex(str): In Strings · The Julia Language, we see

  • lastindex(str) gives the maximal (byte) index that can be used to index into str .

In REPL help mode: ?lastindex , nothing on strings, only text as seen in Collections and Data Structures · The Julia Language

I hope that there is something like:

lastindex(str::AbstractString)

gives the maximal (byte) index that can be used to index into str.

Examples

julia> lastindex("")
0

julia> lastindex("∀")
1
2

Yes, it looks like a docstring would be reasonable for that method, too.
