    @class wxArrayString

    wxArrayString is an efficient container for storing wxString objects.

    It has the same features as all wxArray classes, i.e. it dynamically expands
    when new items are added to it (so it is as easy to use as a linked list),
    but the access time to the elements is constant, instead of being linear in
    number of elements as in the case of linked lists. It is also very size
    efficient and doesn't take more space than a C array @e wxString[] type
    (wxArrayString uses its knowledge of internals of wxString class to achieve this).

    This class is used in the same way as other dynamic arrays(), except that no
    ::WX_DEFINE_ARRAY declaration is needed for it.
    When a string is added or inserted in the array, a copy of the string is created,
    so the original string may be safely deleted (e.g. if it was a @e wxChar *
    pointer the memory it was using can be freed immediately after this).
    In general, there is no need to worry about string memory deallocation when using
    this class - it will always free the memory it uses itself.

    The references returned by wxArrayString::Item, wxArrayString::Last or
    wxArrayString::operator[] are not constant, so the array elements may
    be modified in place like this:

    @code
    array.Last().MakeUpper();
    @endcode

    @note None of the methods of wxArrayString is virtual including its
          destructor, so this class should not be used as a base class.

    Although this is not true strictly speaking, this class may be considered as
    a specialization of wxArray class for the wxString member data: it is not
    implemented like this, but it does have all of the wxArray functions.

    It also has the full set of <tt>std::vector<wxString></tt> compatible
    methods, including nested @c iterator and @c const_iterator classes which
    should be used in the new code for forward compatibility with the future
    wxWidgets versions.
