:mrdocs:

Create an instance of type `bsl::string` in this object, using the allocator currently held by this object to supply memory. Optionally specify `string` to initialize the `bsl::string` created. This method first destroys the current value held by this object (even if the type currently held is `bsl::string`). The behavior is undefined unless `string` is valid UTF‐8 (see `bdlde::Utf8Util::isValid`).
