// another `std::string`, double-quoted std::string literal, character array, or even
// another `string_view`.
//
// This `absl::string_view` abstraction is designed to be a drop-in

// absl::string_view
//
// A `string_view` provides a lightweight view into the std::string data provided by
// a `std::string`, double-quoted std::string literal, character array, or even
// another `string_view`. A `string_view` does *not* own the std::string to which it
// points, and that data cannot be modified through the view.
//
// You can use `string_view` as a function or method parameter anywhere a
// parameter can receive a double-quoted std::string literal, `const char*`,
// `std::string`, or another `absl::string_view` argument with no need to copy
// the std::string data. Systematic use of `string_view` within function arguments
// reduces data copies and `strlen()` calls.
//
// Because of its small size, prefer passing `string_view` by value:
//
//   void MyFunction(absl::string_view arg);
//
// If circumstances require, you may also pass one by const reference:
//
//   void MyFunction(const absl::string_view& arg);  // not preferred
//
// Passing by value generates slightly smaller code for many architectures.
//
// In either case, the source data of the `string_view` must outlive the
// `string_view` itself.
//
// A `string_view` is also suitable for local variables if you know that the
// lifetime of the underlying object is longer than the lifetime of your
// `string_view` variable. However, beware of binding a `string_view` to a
// temporary value:
//
//   // BAD use of string_view: lifetime problem
//   absl::string_view sv = obj.ReturnAString();
//
//   // GOOD use of string_view: str outlives sv
//   std::string str = obj.ReturnAString();
//   absl::string_view sv = str;
//
// Due to lifetime issues, a `string_view` is sometimes a poor choice for a
// return value and usually a poor choice for a data member. If you do use a
// `string_view` this way, it is your responsibility to ensure that the object
// pointed to by the `string_view` outlives the `string_view`.
//
// A `string_view` may represent a whole std::string or just part of a std::string. For
// example, when splitting a std::string, `std::vector<absl::string_view>` is a
// natural data type for the output.
//
//
// When constructed from a source which is nul-terminated, the `string_view`
// itself will not include the nul-terminator unless a specific size (including
// the nul) is passed to the constructor. As a result, common idioms that work
// on nul-terminated strings do not work on `string_view` objects. If you write
// code that scans a `string_view`, you must check its length rather than test
// for nul, for example. Note, however, that nuls may still be embedded within
// a `string_view` explicitly.
//
// You may create a null `string_view` in two ways:
//
//   absl::string_view sv();
//   absl::string_view sv(nullptr, 0);
//
// For the above, `sv.data() == nullptr`, `sv.length() == 0`, and
// `sv.empty() == true`. Also, if you create a `string_view` with a non-null
// pointer then `sv.data() != nullptr`. Thus, you can use `string_view()` to
// signal an undefined value that is different from other `string_view` values
// in a similar fashion to how `const char* p1 = nullptr;` is different from
// `const char* p2 = "";`. However, in practice, it is not recommended to rely
// on this behavior.
//
// Be careful not to confuse a null `string_view` with an empty one. A null
// `string_view` is an empty `string_view`, but some empty `string_view`s are
// not null. Prefer checking for emptiness over checking for null.
//
// There are many ways to create an empty string_view:
//
//   const char* nullcp = nullptr;
//   // string_view.size() will return 0 in all cases.
//   absl::string_view();
//   absl::string_view(nullcp, 0);
//   absl::string_view("");
//   absl::string_view("", 0);
//   absl::string_view("abcdef", 0);
//   absl::string_view("abcdef" + 6, 0);
//
// All empty `string_view` objects whether null or not, are equal:
//
//   absl::string_view() == absl::string_view("", 0)
//   absl::string_view(nullptr, 0) == absl:: string_view("abcdef"+6, 0)
