/* Stringbufs 
 *
 * XXX - keeping an accurate refcount during GC seems to be quite
 * tricky, so we just keep score of whether a stringbuf might be
 * shared, not whether it definitely is.  
 *
 * The scheme I (mvo) tried to keep an accurate reference count would
 * recount all strings that point to a stringbuf during the mark-phase
 * of the GC.  This was done since one cannot access the stringbuf of
 * a string when that string is freed (in order to decrease the
 * reference count).  The memory of the stringbuf might have been
 * reused already for something completely different.
 *
 * This recounted worked for a small number of threads beating on
 * cow-strings, but it failed randomly with more than 10 threads, say.
 * I couldn't figure out what went wrong, so I used the conservative
 * approach implemented below.
 * 
 * A stringbuf needs to know its length, but only so that it can be
 * reported when the stringbuf is freed.
 *
 * There are 3 storage strategies for stringbufs: inline, outline, and
 * wide.
 *
 * Inline strings are small 8-bit strings stored within the double
 * cell itself.  Outline strings are larger 8-bit strings with GC
 * allocated storage.  Wide strings are 32-bit strings with allocated
 * storage.
 *
 * There was little value in making wide string inlineable, since
 * there is only room for three inlined 32-bit characters.  Thus wide
 * stringbufs are never inlined.
