Class Strings

object --+
         |
        Strings

Allows iterating over the string list. The set of strings will not be
modified, unless asked explicitly at setup()-time. This string list also
is used by the "String window" so it may be changed when this window is
updated.

Example:
    s = Strings()

    for i in s:
        print("%x: len=%d type=%d -> '%s'" % (i.ea, i.length, i.strtype, str(i)))

Nested Classes
	StringItem Class representing each string item.
