[haXe] extending String

[Danny Wilson]

Hey Nicolas,

Are you still working on the SPOD improvements with CREATE TABLE statement  
generation? Or is it not targeted to be opensource?

If you don't have time for it, I was busy doing some SPOD improving  
classes and could help you finish...

Kind regards,
Danny Wilson
