+// A Cord is a sequence of characters with some unusual access propreties.
+// A Cord supports efficient insertions and deletions at the start and end of
+// the byte sequence, but random access reads are slower, and random access
+// modifications are not supported by the API.  Cord also provides cheap copies
+// (using a copy-on-write strategy) and cheap substring operations.
+//
+// Thread safety
+// -------------
+// Cord has the same thread-safety properties as many other types like
+// std::string, std::vector<>, int, etc -- it is thread-compatible. In
+// particular, if no thread may call a non-const method, then it is safe to
+// concurrently call const methods. Copying a Cord produces a new instance that
+// can be used concurrently with the original in arbitrary ways.
+//
+// Implementation is similar to the "Ropes" described in:
+//    Ropes: An alternative to strings
+//    Hans J. Boehm, Russ Atkinson, Michael Plass
