+/* String representation.
+
+ A string is a piece of a stringbuf. A stringbuf can be used by
+ more than one string. When a string is written to and the
+ stringbuf of that string is used by more than one string, a new
+ stringbuf is created. That is, strings are copy-on-write. This
+ behavior can be used to make the substring operation quite
+ efficient.
+
+ The implementation is tuned so that mutating a string is costly,
+ but just reading it is cheap and lock-free.
+
+ There are also mutation-sharing strings. They refer to a part of
+ an ordinary string. Writing to a mutation-sharing string just
+ writes to the ordinary string.
+
+
+ Internal, low level interface to the character arrays
+
+ - Use scm_i_string_chars to get a pointer to the byte array of a
+ string for reading. Use scm_i_string_length to get the number of
+ bytes in that array. The array is not null-terminated.
+
+ - The array is valid as long as the corresponding SCM object is
+ protected but only until the next SCM_TICK. During such a 'safe
+ point', strings might change their representation.
+
+ - Use scm_i_string_writable_chars to get the same pointer as with
+ scm_i_string_chars, but for reading and writing. This is a
+ potentially costly operation since it implements the
+ copy-on-write behavior. When done with the writing, call
+ scm_i_string_stop_writing. You must do this before the next
+ SCM_TICK. (This means, before calling almost any other scm_
+ function and you can't allow throws, of course.)
+
+ - New strings can be created with scm_i_make_string. This gives
+ access to a writable pointer that remains valid as long as nobody
+ else makes a copy-on-write substring of the string. Do not call
+ scm_i_string_stop_writing for this pointer.
+
+ Legacy interface
+
+ - SCM_STRINGP is just scm_is_string.
+
+ - SCM_STRING_CHARS uses scm_i_string_writable_chars and immediately
+ calls scm_i_stop_writing, hoping for the best. SCM_STRING_LENGTH
+ is the same as scm_i_string_length. SCM_STRING_CHARS will throw
+ an error for for strings that are not null-terminated.
