``StringSet`` is a thin wrapper around :ref:`StringMap\<char\> <dss_stringmap>`,

and it allows efficient storage and retrieval of unique strings.

Functionally analogous to ``SmallSet<StringRef>``, ``StringSet`` also suports

iteration. (The iterator dereferences to a ``StringMapEntry<char>``, so you
|

need to call ``i->getKey()`` to access the item of the StringSet.) On the

other hand, ``StringSet`` doesn't support range-insertion and

copy-construction, which :ref:`SmallSet <dss_smallset>` and :ref:`SmallPtrSet
