+// Creates a multi-segment Cord from an iterable container of strings.  The
+// resulting Cord is guaranteed to have one segment for every string in the
+// container.  This allows code to be unit tested with multi-segment Cord
+// inputs.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   absl::Cord c = absl::MakeFragmentedCord({"A ", "fragmented ", "Cord"});
+//   EXPECT_FALSE(c.GetFlat(&unused));
+//
+// The mechanism by which this Cord is created is an implementation detail.  Any
+// implementation that produces a multi-segment Cord may produce a flat Cord in
+// the future as new optimizations are added to the Cord class.
+// MakeFragmentedCord will, however, always be updated to return a multi-segment
+// Cord.
