// Dstr:  Dave's String class.

// Canonicalized 2005-05-05.
// Moved into libdstr 2007-02-06.
// libdstr 20070215 backported for XTide 2007-02-15.

// This source is public domain.  As if you would want it.

// Dstr will never become a subclass of std::string.  The two classes
// have irreconcilable differences.

// Dstr knows the difference between a null string and an empty
// string.

// All Dstr operations have safe and useful behaviors when operating
// on a null string or with out-of-range indices.  This eliminates the
// need for much defensive coding in typically messy text processing
// functions.  E.g., you can test whether the 10th character is 'F'
// without worrying about whether the string is null or contains less
// than 10 characters.

// For the operations where it matters, Dstr assumes a Latin-1
// character set and collation, regardless of the platform's support
// or lack thereof for relevant locales.

// Operations described as "insensitive" ignore case and diacriticals,
// and they expand the ligatures , , , , , and  prior to
// comparison.  Operations described as "sensitive" do a literal,
// byte-by-byte comparison.

// No multi-level comparison, a la Unicode Collation Algorithm, is
// ever done.  Strings that differ only in the placement of
// diacriticals or expansion of ligatures are completely equivalent to
// all insensitive operations.

// As of Unicode 4.1.0, the middle character in the expansions of the
// fractions (FRACTION SLASH) is not equivalent to '/' (SOLIDUS).
// Since FRACTION SLASH is not in Latin-1, SOLIDUS is substituted when
// expanding ligatures.
