/**
 * Returns a localized string.
 *
 * Returns the translated string specified by $identifier as
 * for $module.  Uses the same format files as STphp.
 * $a is an object, string or number that can be used
 * within translation strings
 *
 * eg 'hello {$a->firstname} {$a->lastname}'
 * or 'hello {$a}'
 *
 * If you would like to directly echo the localized string use
 * the function {@link print_string()}
 *
 * Example usage of this function involves finding the string you would
 * like a local equivalent of and using its identifier and module information
 * to retrieve it.<br/>
 * If you open moodle/lang/en/moodle.php and look near line 278
 * you will find a string to prompt a user for their word for 'course'
 * <code>
 * $string['course'] = 'Course';
 * </code>
 * So if you want to display the string 'Course'
 * in any language that supports it on your site
 * you just need to use the identifier 'course'
 * <code>
 * $mystring = '<strong>'. get_string('course') .'</strong>';
 * or
 * </code>
 * If the string you want is in another file you'd take a slightly
 * different approach. Looking in moodle/lang/en/calendar.php you find
 * around line 75:
 * <code>
 * $string['typecourse'] = 'Course event';
 * </code>
 * If you want to display the string "Course event" in any language
 * supported you would use the identifier 'typecourse' and the module 'calendar'
 * (because it is in the file calendar.php):
 * <code>
 * $mystring = '<h1>'. get_string('typecourse', 'calendar') .'</h1>';
 * </code>
 *
 * As a last resort, should the identifier fail to map to a string
 * the returned string will be [[ $identifier ]]
 *
 * In Moodle 2.3 there is a new argument to this function $lazyload.
 * Setting $lazyload to true causes get_string to return a lang_string object
 * rather than the string itself. The fetching of the string is then put off until
 * the string object is first used. The object can be used by calling it's out
 * method or by casting the object to a string, either directly e.g.
 *     (string)$stringobject
 * or indirectly by using the string within another string or echoing it out e.g.
 *     echo $stringobject
 *     return "<p>{$stringobject}</p>";
 * It is worth noting that using $lazyload and attempting to use the string as an
 * array key will cause a fatal error as objects cannot be used as array keys.
 * But you should never do that anyway!
 * For more information {@see lang_string}
 *
 * @category string

 * This special class is used to create an object representation of a string request.
 * It is special because processing doesn't occur until the object is first used.
 * The class was created especially to aid performance in areas where strings were
 * required to be generated but were not necessarily used.
 * As an example the admin tree when generated uses over 1500 strings, of which
 * normally only 1/3 are ever actually printed at any time.
 * The performance advantage is achieved by not actually processing strings that
 * arn't being used, as such reducing the processing required for the page.
 *
 * How to use the lang_string class?
 *     There are two methods of using the lang_string class, first through the
 *     forth argument of the get_string function, and secondly directly.
 *     The following are examples of both.
 * 1. Through get_string calls e.g.
 *     $string = get_string($identifier, $component, $a, true);
 *     $string = get_string('yes', 'moodle', null, true);
 * 2. Direct instantiation
 *     $string = new lang_string($identifier, $component, $a, $lang);
 *     $string = new lang_string('yes');
 *
 * How do I use a lang_string object?
 *     The lang_string object makes use of a magic __toString method so that you
 *     are able to use the object exactly as you would use a string in most cases.
 *     This means you are able to collect it into a variable and then directly
 *     echo it, or concatenate it into another string, or similar.
 *     The other thing you can do is manually get the string by calling the
 *     lang_strings out method e.g.
 *         $string = new lang_string('yes');
 *         $string->out();
 *     Also worth noting is that the out method can take one argument, $lang which
 *     allows the developer to change the language on the fly.
 *
 * When should I use a lang_string object?
 *     The lang_string object is designed to be used in any situation where a
 *     string may not be needed, but needs to be generated.
 *     The admin tree is a good example of where lang_string objects should be
 *     used.
 *     A more practical example would be any class that requries strings that may
 *     not be printed (after all classes get renderer by renderers and who knows
 *     what they will do ;))
 *
 * When should I not use a lang_string object?
 *     Don't use lang_strings when you are going to use a string immediately.
 *     There is no need as it will be processed immediately and there will be no
 *     advantage, and in fact perhaps a negative hit as a class has to be
 *     instantiated for a lang_string object, however get_string won't require
 *     that.
 *
 * Limitations:
 * 1. You cannot use a lang_string object as an array offset. Doing so will
 *     result in PHP throwing an error. (You can use it as an object property!)
