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