 *
 * This file defines a simple string type, which has several important features:
 *
 * - strings are reference-counted.
 * - strings are logically immutable.
 * - ...however, if a string has no other referents, it can be "recycled"
 *   into a new string without having to free/malloc.
 * - strings can be substrings of other strings (owning a ref on the source string).
 * - strings can refer to un-owned memory; attempting to acquire a reference will
 *   copy the data at that time.
