 * @file svn_string.h
 * @brief Counted-length strings for Subversion, plus some C string goodies.
 *
 * There are two string datatypes: @c svn_string_t and @c svn_stringbuf_t.
 * The former is a simple pointer/length pair useful for passing around
 * strings (or arbitrary bytes) with a counted length. @c svn_stringbuf_t is
 * buffered to enable efficient appending of strings without an allocation
 * and copy for each append operation.
 *
 * @c svn_string_t contains a <tt>const char *</tt> for its data, so it is
 * most appropriate for constant data and for functions which expect constant,
 * counted data. Functions should generally use <tt>const @c svn_string_t
 * *</tt> as their parameter to indicate they are expecting a constant,
 * counted string.
 *
 * @c svn_stringbuf_t uses a plain <tt>char *</tt> for its data, so it is
 * most appropriate for modifiable data.
 *
 * <h3>Invariants</h3>
 *
 *   1. Null termination:
 *
 *      Both structures maintain a significant invariant:
 *
 *         <tt>s->data[s->len] == '\\0'</tt>
 *
 *      The functions defined within this header file will maintain
 *      the invariant (which does imply that memory is
 *      allocated/defined as @c len+1 bytes).  If code outside of the
 *      @c svn_string.h functions manually builds these structures,
 *      then they must enforce this invariant.
 *
 *      Note that an @c svn_string(buf)_t may contain binary data,
 *      which means that strlen(s->data) does not have to equal @c
 *      s->len. The null terminator is provided to make it easier to
 *      pass @c s->data to C string interfaces.
 *
 *
 *   2. Non-NULL input:
 *
 *      All the functions assume their input data pointer is non-NULL,
 *      unless otherwise documented, and may seg fault if passed
 *      NULL.  The input data may *contain* null bytes, of course, just
 *      the data pointer itself must not be NULL.
 *
 * <h3>Memory allocation</h3>
 *
 *   All the functions make a deep copy of all input data, and never store
 *   a pointer to the original input data.
