    \class Q3CString
    \reentrant
    \brief The Q3CString class provides an abstraction of the classic C
    zero-terminated char array (char *).

    \compat

    Q3CString tries to behave like a more convenient \c{const char *}.
    The price of doing this is that some algorithms will perform
    badly. For example, append() is O(length()) since it scans for a
    null terminator. Although you might use Q3CString for text that is
    never exposed to the user, for most purposes, and especially for
    user-visible text, you should use QString. QString provides
    implicit sharing, Unicode and other internationalization support,
    and is well optimized.

    Note that for the Q3CString methods that take a \c{const char *}
    parameter the \c{const char *} must either be 0 (null) or not-null
    and '\0' (NUL byte) terminated; otherwise the results are
    undefined.

    A Q3CString that has not been assigned to anything is \e null, i.e.
    both the length and the data pointer is 0. A Q3CString that
    references the empty string ("", a single '\0' char) is \e empty.
    Both null and empty Q3CStrings are legal parameters to the methods.
    Assigning \c{const char *} 0 to Q3CString produces a null Q3CString.

    The length() function returns the length of the string; resize()
    resizes the string and truncate() truncates the string. A string
    can be filled with a character using fill(). Strings can be left
    or right padded with characters using leftJustify() and
    rightJustify(). Characters, strings and regular expressions can be
    searched for using find() and findRev(), and counted using
    contains().

    Strings and characters can be inserted with insert() and appended
    with append(). A string can be prepended with prepend().
    Characters can be removed from the string with remove() and
    replaced with replace().

    Portions of a string can be extracted using left(), right() and
    mid(). Whitespace can be removed using stripWhiteSpace() and
    simplifyWhiteSpace(). Strings can be converted to uppercase or
    lowercase with upper() and lower() respectively.

    Strings that contain numbers can be converted to numbers with
    toShort(), toInt(), toLong(), toULong(), toFloat() and toDouble().
    Numbers can be converted to strings with setNum().

    Many operators are overloaded to work with Q3CStrings. Q3CString
    also supports some more obscure functions, e.g. sprintf(),
    setStr() and setExpand().

    \sidebar Note on Character Comparisons

    In Q3CString the notion of uppercase and lowercase and of which
    character is greater than or less than another character is locale
    dependent. This affects functions which support a case insensitive
    option or which compare or lowercase or uppercase their arguments.
    Case insensitive operations and comparisons will be accurate if
    both strings contain only ASCII characters. (If \c $LC_CTYPE is
    set, most Unix systems do "the right thing".) Functions that this
    affects include contains(), find(), findRev(), \l operator<(), \l
    operator<=(), \l operator>(), \l operator>=(), lower() and
    upper().

    This issue does not apply to \l{QString}s since they represent
    characters using Unicode.
    \endsidebar

    Performance note: The Q3CString methods for QRegExp searching are
    implemented by converting the Q3CString to a QString and performing
    the search on that. This implies a deep copy of the Q3CString data.
    If you are going to perform many QRegExp searches on a large
    Q3CString, you will get better performance by converting the
    Q3CString to a QString yourself, and then searching in the QString.
