// thus you should be able to compile it with practicaly any C++ compiler.
// This class uses copy-on-write technique, i.e. identical strings share the
// same memory as long as neither of them is changed.
//
// This class aims to be as compatible as possible with the new standard
// std::string class, but adds some additional functions and should be at
// least as efficient than the standard implementation.
//
// Performance note: it's more efficient to write functions which take "const
// String&" arguments than "const char *" if you assign the argument to
// another string.
//
// It was compiled and tested under Win32, Linux (libc 5 & 6), Solaris 5.5.
//
// To do:
//  - ressource support (string tables in ressources)
//  - more wide character (UNICODE) support
//  - regular expressions support

    /*
        So why do we have all these overloaded operator[]s? A bit of history:
        initially there was only one of them, taking size_t. Then people
        started complaining because they wanted to use ints as indices (I
        wonder why) and compilers were giving warnings about it, so we had to
        add the operator[](int). Then it became apparent that you couldn't
        write str[0] any longer because there was ambiguity between two
        overloads and so you now had to write str[0u] (or, of course, use the
        explicit casts to either int or size_t but nobody did this).

        Finally, someone decided to compile wxWin on an Alpha machine and got
        a surprize: str[0u] didn't compile there because it is of type
        unsigned int and size_t is unsigned _long_ on Alpha and so there was
        ambiguity between converting uint to int or ulong. To fix this one we
        now add operator[](uint) for the machines where size_t is not already
        the same as unsigned int - hopefully this fixes the problem (for some
        time)

        The only real fix is, of course, to remove all versions but the one
        taking size_t...
