/**
* nsStringContainer
*
* This is an opaque data type that is large enough to hold the canonical
* implementation of nsAString. The binary structure of this class is an
* implementation detail.
*
* The string data stored in a string container is always single fragment
* and may be null-terminated depending on how it is initialized.
*
* Typically, string containers are allocated on the stack for temporary
* use. However, they can also be malloc'd if necessary. In either case,
* a string container is not useful until it has been initialized with a
* call to NS_StringContainerInit. The following example shows how to use
* a string container to call a function that takes a |nsAString &| out-param.
*
* NS_METHOD GetBlah(nsAString &aBlah);
*
* nsresult MyCode()
* {
* nsresult rv;
*
* nsStringContainer sc;
* rv = NS_StringContainerInit(sc);
* if (NS_FAILED(rv))
* return rv;
*
* rv = GetBlah(sc);
* if (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv))
* {
* const PRUnichar *data;
* NS_StringGetData(sc, &data);
* //
* // |data| now points to the result of the GetBlah function
* //
* }
*
* NS_StringContainerFinish(sc);
* return rv;
* }
*
* The following example show how to use a string container to pass a string
* parameter to a function taking a |const nsAString &| in-param.
*
* NS_METHOD SetBlah(const nsAString &aBlah);
*
* nsresult MyCode()
* {
* nsresult rv;
*
* nsStringContainer sc;
* rv = NS_StringContainerInit(sc);
* if (NS_FAILED(rv))
* return rv;
*
* const PRUnichar kData[] = {'x','y','z','\0'};
* rv = NS_StringSetData(sc, kData, sizeof(kData)/2 - 1);
* if (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv))
* rv = SetBlah(sc);
*
* NS_StringContainerFinish(sc);
* return rv;
