I will consolidate the (isstring() || isstringvar()) test into a single
call isstringvalue().  This simplifies the code, which is good.
If/when Juergen comes up with a fully working isstringfunc(), that can be
added at a single point in isstringvalue(). =20

By my current count there are 14 of these consolidated tests,=20
as compareded to  ~60 remaining instances of the original isstring().

So I agree with you in principle, but let's get the simplified code
checked out first before considering a grand re-naming.
