Summary: changestr()-BIF in error

Initial Comment:
The current drop of 3.2beta incorporates a new optional third argument in the String's methods "caselessChangeStr" and "changeStr", which allows to indicate how many times the string should be changed at most.

The changeStr()-BIF has now started to expect a whole number as its third parameter too, which is wrong (it should be an optional fourth argument). The third argument should be the replacement string, if using the BIF.

E.g. a rexxtry session:

---------------- cut here ----------------
E:\rony\dev\bsf\src\bsf4rexx>rexxtry
REXX-ooRexx_3.2.0(MT) 6.02 12 Sep 2007
  rexxtry.rex lets you interactively try REXX statements.
    Each string is executed when you hit Enter.
    Enter 'call tell' for a description of the features.
  Go on - try a few...            Enter 'exit' to end.
a="hello";say a~changestr("l","-")
he--o
  ........................................... rexxtry.rex on WindowsNT
say changestr("l", a, "-")
  Oooops ! ... try again.     Incorrect call to routine
                              CHANGESTR argument 3 must be a whole number; found "-"
  rc = 40 ................................... rexxtry.rex on WindowsNT
---------------- cut here ----------------
