MODULE NOTES:
A. There are two philosophies to building string classes:
1. Hide the underlying buffer & offer API's allow indirect iteration
2. Reveal underlying buffer, risk corruption, but gain performance
We chose the second option for performance reasons.
B Our internal buffer always holds capacity+1 bytes.
