/***********************************************************************
  MODULE NOTES:

  See nsStr.h for a more general description of string classes.

  This version of the nsString class offers many improvements over the
  original version:
    1. Wide and narrow chars
    2. Allocators
    3. Much smarter autostrings
    4. Subsumable strings
