  Branch: 8.0

Removed the deprecated strmult and String_buffer (compatibility is already in place). Fixed a soundex bug. Made int2roman and int2size throw an error when input is out of range. Fixed an off by one error for the bytes/kb transition in int2size.

Rev: lib/modules/String.pmod/module.pmod:1.9
