Shall the functions below also be included in strings.txi ...

        @DOCSTRING(strread)

        @DOCSTRING(textread)

        @DOCSTRING(textscan)

I'm not sure about textread since it reads from a file. However, strread(str, 
...) and textscan(str, ...) work very similiarly.

Maybe others too?
