(** Strings.

    A string [s] of length [n] is an indexable and immutable sequence
    of [n] bytes. For historical reasons these bytes are referred to
    as characters.

    The semantics of string functions is defined in terms of
    indices and positions. These are depicted and described
    as follows.

{v
positions  0   1   2   3   4    n-1    n
           +---+---+---+---+     +-----+
  indices  | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | ... | n-1 |
           +---+---+---+---+     +-----+
v}
    {ul
    {- An {e index} [i] of [s] is an integer in the range \[[0];[n-1]\].
       It represents the [i]th byte (character) of [s] which can be
       accessed using the constant time string indexing operator
       [s.[i]].}
    {- A {e position} [i] of [s] is an integer in the range
       \[[0];[n]\]. It represents either the point at the beginning of
       the string, or the point between two indices, or the point at
       the end of the string. The [i]th byte index is between position
       [i] and [i+1].}}

    Two integers [start] and [len] are said to define a {e valid
    substring} of [s] if [len >= 0] and [start], [start+len] are
    positions of [s].

    {b Unicode text.} Strings being arbitrary sequences of bytes, they
    can hold any kind of textual encoding. However the recommended
    encoding for storing Unicode text in OCaml strings is UTF-8. This
    is the encoding used by Unicode escapes in string literals. For
    example the string ["\u{1F42B}"] is the UTF-8 encoding of the
    Unicode character U+1F42B.

    {b Past mutability.} Before OCaml 4.02, strings used to be modifiable in
    place like {!Bytes.t} mutable sequences of bytes.
    OCaml 4 had various compiler flags and configuration options to support the
    transition period from mutable to immutable strings.
    Those options are no longer available, and strings are now always
    immutable.

    The labeled version of this module can be used as described in the
    {!StdLabels} module.
