Objects of types `_string`, `wstring`, and `dstring` are value types
and cannot be mutated element-by-element. For using mutation during building
strings, use `char[]`, `wchar[]`, or `dchar[]`. The `xxxstring`
types are preferable because they don't exhibit undesired aliasing, thus
making code more robust.

There is a rich set of functions for _string handling defined in other modules.
Functions related to Unicode and ASCII are found in $(MREF std, uni)
and $(MREF std, ascii), respectively. Other functions that have a
wider generality than just strings can be found in $(MREF std, algorithm)
and $(MREF std, range).

    $(MREF std, algorithm) and
    $(MREF std, range)

    ,
    $(MREF std, uni)

    Params:

    Returns: A C-style null-terminated string equivalent to `s`. `s`
    must not contain embedded `'\0'`'s as any C function will treat the
    first `'\0'` that it sees as the end of the string. If `s.empty` is
    `true`, then a string containing only `'\0'` is returned.

    $(RED Important Note:) When passing a `char*` to a C function, and the C
    function keeps it around for any reason, make sure that you keep a
    reference to it in your D code. Otherwise, it may become invalid during a
    garbage collection cycle and cause a nasty bug when the C code tries to use
    it.

/**
   Flag indicating whether a search is case-sensitive.

/++
    Searches for character in range.

    Params:
        s = string or InputRange of characters to search in correct UTF format
        c = character to search for
        startIdx = starting index to a well-formed code point
        cs = `Yes.caseSensitive` or `No.caseSensitive`

    Returns:
        the index of the first occurrence of `c` in `s` with
        respect to the start index `startIdx`. If `c`
        is not found, then `-1` is returned.
        If `c` is found the value of the returned index is at least
        `startIdx`.
        If the parameters are not valid UTF, the result will still
        be in the range [-1 .. s.length], but will not be reliable otherwise.

    Throws:
        If the sequence starting at `startIdx` does not represent a well
        formed codepoint, then a $(REF UTFException, std,utf) may be thrown.

/++
    Searches for substring in `s`.

    Params:
        s = string or ForwardRange of characters to search in correct UTF format
        sub = substring to search for
        startIdx = the index into s to start searching from
        cs = `Yes.caseSensitive` or `No.caseSensitive`

    Returns:
        the index of the first occurrence of `sub` in `s` with
        respect to the start index `startIdx`. If `sub` is not found,
        then `-1` is returned.
        If the arguments are not valid UTF, the result will still
        be in the range [-1 .. s.length], but will not be reliable otherwise.
        If `sub` is found the value of the returned index is at least
        `startIdx`.

    Throws:
        If the sequence starting at `startIdx` does not represent a well
        formed codepoint, then a $(REF UTFException, std,utf) may be thrown.

    Bugs:
        Does not work with case insensitive strings where the mapping of
        tolower and toupper is not 1:1.

    Replaces the characters in `str` which are keys in `transTable` with
    their corresponding values in `transTable`. `transTable` is an AA
    where its keys are `dchar` and its values are either `dchar` or some
    type of string. Also, if `toRemove` is given, the characters in it are
    removed from `str` prior to translation. `str` itself is unaltered.
    A copy with the changes is returned.

    This is an $(I $(RED ASCII-only)) overload of $(LREF _translate). It
    will $(I not) work with Unicode. It exists as an optimization for the
    cases where Unicode processing is not necessary.

    Unlike the other overloads of $(LREF _translate), this one does not take
    an AA. Rather, it takes a `string` generated by $(LREF makeTransTable).

    The array generated by `makeTransTable` is `256` elements long such that
    the index is equal to the ASCII character being replaced and the value is
    equal to the character that it's being replaced with. Note that translate
    does not decode any of the characters, so you can actually pass it Extended
    ASCII characters if you want to (ASCII only actually uses `128`
    characters), but be warned that Extended ASCII characters are not valid
    Unicode and therefore will result in a `UTFException` being thrown from
    most other Phobos functions.

    Also, because no decoding occurs, it is possible to use this overload to
    translate ASCII characters within a proper UTF-8 string without altering the
    other, non-ASCII characters. It's replacing any code unit greater than
    `127` with another code unit or replacing any code unit with another code
    unit greater than `127` which will cause UTF validation issues.

    Replaces the characters in `str` which are in `from` with the
    the corresponding characters in `to` and returns the resulting string.

    `tr` is based on
    $(HTTP pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/_tr.html, Posix's tr),
    though it doesn't do everything that the Posix utility does.

    Params:
        str       = The original string.
        from      = The characters to replace.
        to        = The characters to replace with.
        modifiers = String containing modifiers.

    Modifiers:
        $(BOOKTABLE,
        $(TR $(TD Modifier) $(TD Description))
        $(TR $(TD `'c'`) $(TD Complement the list of characters in `from`))
        $(TR $(TD `'d'`) $(TD Removes matching characters with no corresponding
                              replacement in `to`))
        $(TR $(TD `'s'`) $(TD Removes adjacent duplicates in the replaced
                              characters))
        )

    If the modifier `'d'` is present, then the number of characters in
    `to` may be only `0` or `1`.

    If the modifier `'d'` is $(I not) present, and `to` is empty, then
    `to` is taken to be the same as `from`.

    If the modifier `'d'` is $(I not) present, and `to` is shorter than
    `from`, then `to` is extended by replicating the last character in
    `to`.

    Both `from` and `to` may contain ranges using the `'-'` character
    (e.g. `"a-d"` is synonymous with `"abcd"`.) Neither accept a leading
    `'^'` as meaning the complement of the string (use the `'c'` modifier
    for that).

/**
 * Takes a string `s` and determines if it represents a number. This function

 * characters should be stripped from the string before using any
 * of the conversion functions like `to!int()`, `to!float()`, and etc
 * else an error will occur.
 *
 * Also please note, that no spaces are allowed within the string
 * anywhere whether it's a leading, trailing, or embedded space(s),
 * thus they too must be stripped from the string before using this
 * function, or any of the conversion functions.
 *
 * Params:
 *     s = the string or random access range to check
 *     bAllowSep = accept separator characters or not

 * Returns:
