  /**
   * nsTSubstring
   *
   * The base string type.  This type is not instantiated directly.  A sub-
   * class is instantiated instead.  For example, see nsTString.
   *
   * This type works like nsTAString except that it does not have the ABI
   * requirements of that interface.  Like nsTAString, nsTSubstring
   * represents a single contiguous array of characters that may or may not
   * be null-terminated.
   *
   * Many of the accessors on nsTSubstring are inlined as an optimization.
   *
   * This class is also known as "nsASingleFragmentC?String".

      // Some terminology:
      //
      //   "dependent buffer"    A dependent buffer is one that the string class
      //                         does not own.  The string class relies on some
      //                         external code to ensure the lifetime of the
      //                         dependent buffer.
      //
      //   "shared buffer"       A shared buffer is one that the string class
      //                         allocates.  When it allocates a shared string
      //                         buffer, it allocates some additional space at
      //                         the beginning of the buffer for additional 
      //                         fields, including a reference count and a 
      //                         buffer length.  See nsStringHeader.
      //                         
      //   "adopted buffer"      An adopted buffer is a raw string buffer
      //                         allocated on the heap (using nsMemory::Alloc)
      //                         of which the string class subsumes ownership.
      //
      // Some comments about the string flags:
      //
      //   F_SHARED, F_OWNED, and F_FIXED are all mutually exlusive.  They
      //   indicate the allocation type of mData.  If none of these flags
      //   are set, then the string buffer is dependent.
      //
      //   F_SHARED, F_OWNED, or F_FIXED imply F_TERMINATED.  This is because
      //   the string classes always allocate null-terminated buffers, and
      //   non-terminated substrings are always dependent.
      //
      //   F_VOIDED implies F_TERMINATED, and moreover it implies that mData
      //   points to char_traits::sEmptyBuffer.  Therefore, F_VOIDED is
      //   mutually exclusive with F_SHARED, F_OWNED, and F_FIXED.
      //
