// A StringView is a simple (address, size) pair that points to an
// existing read-only string. It's a convenience class used to prevent
// the creation of std::string() objects un-necessarily.
//
// Consider the two following functions:
//
//     size_t count1(const std::string& str) {
//         size_t count = 0;
//         for (size_t n = 0; n < str.size(); ++n) {
//              if (str[n] == '1') {
//                  count++;
//              }
//         }
//         return count;
//     }
//
//     size_t count2(const StringView& str) {
//         size_t count = 0;
//         for (size_t n = 0; n < str.size(); ++n) {
//              if (str[n] == '2') {
//                  count++;
//              }
//         }
//         return count;
//     }
//
// Then consider the following calls:
//
//       size_t n1 = count1("There is 1 one in this string!");
//       size_t n2 = count2("I can count 2 too");
//
// In the first case, the compiler will silently create a temporary
// std::string object, copy the input string into it (allocating memory in
// the heap), call count1() and destroy the std::string upon its return.
//
// In the second case, the compiler will create a temporary StringView,
// initialize it trivially before calling count2(), this results in
// much less generated code, as well as better performance.
//
// Generally speaking, always use a reference or pointer to StringView
// instead of a std::string if your function or method doesn't need to modify
// its input.
//
