A subclass wouldn't be fine IMO. My application is a simple URL-
Encoder/-Decoder. I want to encode a string. So I simply added a
method urlEncoder to the class String and now I am able to do the
following:

'Hello#World' urlEncode

Just FYI, the Swazoo package, already defines such functionality on String, trough httpEncoded/httpDecoded methods.
