/** 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 LString lack support for
  reverse iterators and allocators, in all 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 LString too.

  Notes for usage:

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

  If you want to use a default empty LString as a parameter, use
  
  	#void foo(LString par = LString());	// Correct#
  
  rather than

  	#void foo(LString par = "");	// WRONG!#
  	#void foo(LString 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 LStrings 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 LString, just do
  
	#LString a, b = "String";#
	#a = b;	// That's it!#

  not something like
  
  	#LString a, b = "String";#
  	#a = b.copy(); // This leaks.#
  
  The class automatically handles deep copying when required.
