/** A string class for LyX

  This is a permanent String class. It is modeled closely after the C++ STL
  string class. In comparison with STL string lyxstring lack support for
  reverse iterators and allocators, also char_traits is not used. In most
  other senses it is written to be  a drop in replacement for STL string
  (or as a transition tool). So documentation for STL string should be
  valid for lyxstring too.

  Notes for usage:

  When you declare an lyxstring, it is initially empty. There is no need to
  do things like #lyxstring a= "";#, especially not in constructors.

  If you want to use a default empty lyxstring as a parameter, use

	#void foo(lyxstring par = lyxstring());	// Correct#

  rather than

	#void foo(lyxstring par = "");	// WRONG!#
	#void foo(lyxstring par = 0);	// WRONG!#

  (The last one is only wrong because some compilers can't handle it.)

  Methods that take an index as parameter all follow this rule: Valid indexes
  go from 0 to length()-1.
  \begin{tabular}{rl}
  Correct: & #foo.substring(0, length()-1);# \\
  Wrong:   & #bar.substring(0, length());#
  \end{tabular}

  It is important that you declare lyxstring as const if possible, because
  some methods are much more efficient in const versions.

  If you want to check whether a string is empty, do

	#if (foo.empty()) something right#

  rather than something along the lines of

	#if (!foo) completely wrong#

When you want to copy an lyxstring, just do

	#lyxstring a, b = "String";#
	#a = b;	// That's it!#

  not something like

	#lyxstring a, b = "String";#
	#a = b.copy(); // This leaks. // and does not work either. #

  The class automatically handles deep copying when required.
