-# STRING
-
-STRING provides a way to allocate and free text strings, while de-duplicating them.
-
-It can be used similarly to libc string functions:
-
- - `strdup()` and `strdupz()` become `string_strdupz()`.
- - `strlen()` becomes `string_strlen()` (and it does not walkthrough the bytes of the string).
- - `free()` and `freez()` become `string_freez()`.
-
-There is also a special `string_dup()` function that increases the reference counter of a STRING, avoiding the
-index lookup to find it.
-
-Once there is a `STRING *`, the actual `const char *` can be accessed with `string2str()`.
-
-All STRING should be constant. Changing the contents of a `const char *` that has been acquired by `string2str()` should never happen.
