## Detailed Description

String.

Extends class ConstString by operations which allow modifications.

If allocated externally and passed in via take() or extracted via pass(), memory is expected to be allocated with C's malloc() (rather than new) and deallocated with free(). Use the NEWSTR8/16 and DELETESTR8/16 macros below.
