I checked in some stuff to make it easy to implement new functions.
You just have to write some static methods, and name them using
define_method.  The 'substring' example (see gnu.xquery.lang.XQuery
and gnu.xquery.util.StringValues) shows you can even use overloading.

As I mentioned yesterday: These are not optimized by Qexo into
direct java 'invokestatic' operations, as they would be in
Kawa-Scheme.  However, that is a general problem that I
need to fix ASAP.
