constructed as the result of the plus operator applied to strings (i.e., a C
strings, an <tt>std::string</tt>, or a <tt>StringRef</tt>). The twine delays the
actual concatenation of strings until it is actually required, at which point
it can be efficiently rendered directly into a character array. This avoids
