Create a string that has the same value as the substring of the specified `numChars` length starting at the specified `position` in the specified `object`. Optionally specify a `basicAllocator` used to supply memory. If the `basicAllocator` is not specified, a default‐constructed allocator is used. Throw `out_of_range` if `position > original.object()`.
