/** \class TString
\ingroup Base
 
Basic string class.
 
Cannot be stored in a TCollection... use TObjString instead.
 
The underlying string is stored as a char* that can be accessed via
TString::Data().
TString provides Short String Optimization (SSO) so that short
strings (<15 on 64-bit and <11 on 32-bit) are contained in the
TString internal data structure without the need for mallocing the
required space.
 
Substring operations are provided by the TSubString class, which
holds a reference to the original string and its data, along with
the offset and length of the substring. To retrieve the substring
as a TString, construct a TString from it, eg:
~~~ {.cpp}
   root [0] TString s("hello world")
   root [1] TString s2( s(0,5) )
   root [2] s2
   (class TString)"hello"
~~~

// In what follows, fCap is the length of the underlying representation
// vector. Hence, the capacity for a null terminated string held in this
// vector is fCap-1.  The variable fSize is the length of the held
// string, excluding the terminating null.
//
// The algorithms make no assumptions about whether internal strings
// hold embedded nulls. However, they do assume that any string
// passed in as an argument that does not have a length count is null
// terminated and therefore has no embedded nulls.
//
// The internal string is always null terminated.
