/** This is an alternative implementation of QCString. It provides basically
 *  the same functions but uses less memory for administration. This class
 *  is just a wrapper around a plain C string requiring only 4 bytes "overhead".
 *  QCString features sharing of data and stores the string length, but 
 *  requires 4 + 12 bytes for this (even for the empty string). As doxygen 
 *  uses a LOT of string during a run it saves a lot of memory to use a 
 *  more memory efficient implementation at the cost of relatively low
 *  runtime overhead.
