5// A string-like object that points to a sized piece of memory.
6//
7// Functions or methods may use const StringPiece& parameters to accept either
8// a "const char*" or a "string" value that will be implicitly converted to
9// a StringPiece.  The implicit conversion means that it is often appropriate
10// to include this .h file in other files rather than forward-declaring
11// StringPiece as would be appropriate for most other Google classes.
12//
13// Systematic usage of StringPiece is encouraged as it will reduce unnecessary
14// conversions from "const char*" to "string" and back again.
15//
16//
17// Arghh!  I wish C++ literals were "string".
