/**
Output a substring of the string provided at the input. The position of the
substring within the input string is determined by the <i>start</i> and
<i>stop</i> port parameters. Following Java convention, the character at
<i>start</i> is included, but the character at <i>stop</i> is not.
If the <i>stop</i> is less than <i>start</i>, then
the substring starts at <i>start</i> and extends to the end of the
string. The default values for <i>start</i> and <i>stop</i> are
both 0; this results in an empty string at the output.
