fixedstr 0.5.9

//! This module is intended for internal use only.  Only a few
//! type aliases are exported.  A tiny string or `tstr<N>`, with N<=256,
//! is a version of fixed str that represents the best compromise between
//! memory and runtime efficiency.  Each `tstr<N>` can hold a string of up to
//! N-1 bytes, with max N=256.  A `tstr<N>` is represented underneath
//! by a `[u8;N]` with the first byte always representing the length of the
//! string.  A tstr is not necessarily zero-terminated.
//! Because currently Rust does not allow conditions on const generics
//! such as `where N<=256`, this type is not fully exported and one can
//! only use the type aliases.

/// **This structure is normally only accessible through the

/// types [tstr]\<4\> through [tstr]\<256\> respectively.  The purpose here
/// is to guarantee that the maximum size of the structure does not exceed
/// 256 bytes for it uses the first byte of a u8 array to hold the length of
/// the string.  The tstr type can be made directly public with the
/// **`pub-tstr` option**.
///
/// A feature unique to the tstr type aliases is the ability to concatenate
/// strings by generating higher-capacity types. Concatenating two strN
/// strings will always generate a strM with M=2*N, for str4 - str128.
