//! Unicode string manipulation (`str` type)
//!
//! # Basic Usage
//!
//! Rust's string type is one of the core primitive types of the language. While
//! represented by the name `str`, the name `str` is not actually a valid type in
//! Rust. Each string must also be decorated with a pointer. `String` is used
//! for an owned string, so there is only one commonly-used `str` type in Rust:
//! `&str`.
//!
//! `&str` is the borrowed string type. This type of string can only be created
//! from other strings, unless it is a static string (see below). As the word
//! "borrowed" implies, this type of string is owned elsewhere, and this string
//! cannot be moved out of.
//!
//! As an example, here's some code that uses a string.
//!
//! ```rust
//! fn main() {
//!     let borrowed_string = "This string is borrowed with the 'static lifetime";
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! From the example above, you can guess that Rust's string literals have the
//! `'static` lifetime. This is akin to C's concept of a static string.
//! More precisely, string literals are immutable views with a 'static lifetime
//! (otherwise known as the lifetime of the entire program), and thus have the
//! type `&'static str`.
//!
//! # Representation
//!
//! Rust's string type, `str`, is a sequence of Unicode scalar values encoded as a
//! stream of UTF-8 bytes. All [strings](../../reference.html#literals) are
//! guaranteed to be validly encoded UTF-8 sequences. Additionally, strings are
//! not null-terminated and can thus contain null bytes.
//!
//! The actual representation of strings have direct mappings to slices: `&str`
//! is the same as `&[u8]`.
