 * @defgroup OverflowStrategyTags Overflow Strategy Tags
 * @brief The strategy for resizing containers.
 *
 * Changing the capacity of a container can invalidate the iterators of this container.
 *
 * If no overflow tag is specified, most operations use the default overflow strategy given by @link
 * DefaultOverflowImplicit @endlink or @link DefaultOverflowExplicit @endlink, depending on the kind of operation.
 *
 * @see StringConcept#computeGenerousCapacity
 * @see DefaultOverflowImplicit
 * @see DefaultOverflowExplicit
 *
 * @tag OverflowStrategyTags#Limit
 * @headerfile <seqan/sequence.h>
 * @brief Limit the contents to current capacity.
 *
 * @signature typedef Tag<TagLimit_> Limit;
 *
 * All entries that exceed the capacity are lost.
 *
 * @tag OverflowStrategyTags#Generous
 * @headerfile <seqan/sequence.h>
 * @brief Expand if needed, get precautionary extra space.
 *
 * @signature typedef Tag<TagGenerous_> Generous;
 *
 * Whenever the capacity has to be increased, the new capacity is choosen somewhat large than actually needed.  This
 * strategy limits the number of capacity changes, so that resizing takes armotized constant time.  Use this strategy if
 * the total amount of storage is unkown at first.
 *
 * The new capacity is computed by @link StringConcept#computeGenerousCapacity @endlink. By default, it is
 * guaranteed not to exceed about three halfs of the space that is used to store the data.  The user can overload
 * @link StringConcept#computeGenerousCapacity @endlink in order to change this behavior.
 *
 * @tag OverflowStrategyTags#Exact
 * @headerfile <seqan/sequence.h>
 * @brief Expand as far as needed.
 *
 * @signature typedef Tag<TagExact_> Exact;
 *
 * The capacity is only changed if the current capacity is not large enough.  If the capacity can only be expanded up to
 * a certain ammount, it will be increased as far as possible  and the contents are limited to the new capacity.
 *
 * Note that the capacity will never be shrinked.  Use @link ContainerConcept#shrinkToFit @endlink to resize the
 * capacity down to the current length.
 *
 * @tag OverflowStrategyTags#Insist
 * @headerfile <seqan/sequence.h>
 * @brief No capacity check.
 *
 * @signature typedef Tag<TagInsist_> Insist;

 *
 * Two sequences should have the same id, if they share the same resource, e.g. the same memory buffer.

 * bool b3 = (getObjectId(str) == getObjectId(toCString(str)));
 * @endcode
 *
 * In this example, <tt>b1</tt> is <tt>true</tt., since the segment object returned by <tt>infix()</tt> is just a filter

 *
 * <tt>String&lt;char&gt;(str)</tt> constructs a temporary copy of <tt>str</tt>, so these two strings have different id values.
