10 // This file declares an interned string pool, which helps reduce the cost of
11 // strings by using the same storage for identical strings.
12 //
13 // To intern a string:
14 //
15 //   StringPool Pool;
16 //   PooledStringPtr Str = Pool.intern("wakka wakka");
17 //
18 // To use the value of an interned string, use operator bool and operator*:
19 //
20 //   if (Str)
21 //     cerr << "the string is" << *Str << "\n";
22 //
23 // Pooled strings are immutable, but you can change a PooledStringPtr to point
24 // to another instance. So that interned strings can eventually be freed,
25 // strings in the string pool are reference-counted (automatically).
