/**
* |nsXPIDLC?String| extends |nsSharableC?String| with the ability
* to defer calculation of its length. This is crucial to allowing
* the |getter_Copies| assignment behavior.
*
* The mechanism relies on the fact that |GetSharedBufferHandle|
* must be called before any other object can share the buffer,
* and as the default implementation for |GetBufferHandle|, which is
* the operation on which all other flat string operations are based.
* A valid handle will either have all |NULL| or all non-|NULL|
* pointers. After use as an `out' string pointer parameter, an
* |nsXPIDLC?String|'s handle will have a non-|NULL| storage start, but
* all other members will be |NULL|. This is the signal that the
* length needs to be recalculated. |GetSharedBufferHandle| detects
* this situation and repairs it.
*
* The one situation this _doesn't_ catch, is if no one ever tries to use
* the string before it's destruction. In this case, because the start of
* storage is known, storage can still be freed in the usual way.
*
* An |nsXPIDLC?String| is now a sharable object, just like |nsSharableC?String|.
* This simple implementation always allocates an intermediary handle
* object. This cost might turn out to be a burden, it's something we'll
* want to measure. A couple of optimizations spring to mind if allocation
* of the handle objects shows up on the performance radar:
* (1) introduce a custom allocator for the handles, e.g., keep free lists
* or arena allocate them, or (2) fatten up the |nsXPIDLC?String| with a
* local handle, and only allocate a shared handle in the event that
* someone actually wants to share. Both of these alternatives add
* complexity or space costs, and so we start with the simplest thing
* that could possibly work :-)
