/* A stringbuf is a linear buffer of characters.  Every string has a
   stringbuf.  Strings may reference just a slice of a stringbuf; that's
   often the case for strings made by the "substring" function.

   Stringbufs may hold either 8-bit characters or 32-bit characters.  In
   either case the characters are Unicode codepoints.  "Narrow"
   stringbufs thus have the ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) encoding, and "wide"
   stringbufs have the UTF-32 (UCS-4) encoding.

   By default, stringbufs are immutable.  This enables an O(1)
   "substring" operation with no synchronization.  A string-set! will
   first ensure that the string's stringbuf is mutable, copying the
   stringbuf if necessary.  This is therefore a copy-on-write
   representation.  However, taking a substring of a mutable stringbuf
   is an O(n) operation as it has to create a new immutable stringbuf.
   There are also mutation-sharing substrings as well.  */
