How do you know how a string object is going to be treated by any
given function? Read the Fine Manual for that function.
So am I to understand that there is no consistency in string handling
throughout the standard modules/objects/methods?
How can there be? They all have different requirements, after all.
In C, for example, you wouldn't expect "^\\s*[qwerty]+" to be remotely
useful as a printf() format, but it might be exactly what you want for
some regular expression library.
