/* 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 wether 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.
 *
 * Stringbufs (and strings) are not stored very compactly: a stringbuf
 * has room for about 2*sizeof(scm_t_bits)-1 bytes additional
 * information.  As a compensation, the code below is made more
 * complicated by storing small strings inline in the double cell of a
 * stringbuf.  So we have fixstrings and bigstrings...
