Expand description

Extension trait for converting to Godot string types.

Provides types like &str and String with “extension functions” to convert to one of the Godot string types.

An explicitly named val.to_gstring() method has several advantages over the From trait (which may be phased out over time):

Compared to GString::from(&val), it is shorter and can be used in fluent expressions such as val.replace(...).to_gstring().
Compared to val.into(), it makes the conversion more explicit by naming the type, and never runs into type-inference problems (the into() function requires an explicit type declaration somewhere).
