`StringRefImp`	This class provides a reference-semantic-like (see below) mechanism that allows `const` `std::string` values, which are represented externally as either an `std::string` or null-terminated c-style string (or parts thereof), to be treated both uniformly and efficiently when passed as an argument to a function in which the string's length will be needed. The interface of this class provides a subset of accessor methods found on `std::string` (but none of the manipulators) -- all of which apply to the referenced string. But, because only non-modifiable access is afforded to the referenced string value, each of the manipulators on this type -- assignment in particular -- apply to this string-reference object itself (as if it had pointer semantics). Hence, this class has a hybrid of reference- and pointer-semantics.
