/** The iterator type of Glib::ustring.
 * Note this is not a random access iterator but a bidirectional one,
 * since all index operations need to iterate over the UTF-8 data.  Use
 * std::advance() to move to a certain position.  However, all of the
 * relational operators are available:
 * <tt>==&nbsp;!=&nbsp;<&nbsp;>&nbsp;<=&nbsp;>=</tt>
 *
 * A writeable iterator isn't provided because:  The number of bytes of
 * the old UTF-8 character and the new one to write could be different.
 * Therefore, any write operation would invalidate all other iterators
 * pointing into the same string.
 *
 * The Glib::ustring iterated over must contain only valid UTF-8 data.
 * If it does not, operator++(), operator-\-() and operator*() may make
 * accesses outside the bounds of the string. A loop such as the following
 * one would not stop at the end of the string.
 * @code
 * // Bad code! Don't do this!
 * const char not_utf8[] = { '\x80', '\xef', '\x80', '\x80', '\xef', '\x80' };
 * const Glib::ustring s(not_utf8, not_utf8 + sizeof not_utf8);

/** Glib::ustring has much the same interface as std::string, but contains

 *
 * @par About UTF-8 and ASCII
 * @par
 * The standard character set ANSI_X3.4-1968&nbsp;-- more commonly known as
 * ASCII&nbsp;-- is a subset of UTF-8.  So, if you want to, you can use
 * Glib::ustring without even thinking about UTF-8.
 * @par
 * Whenever ASCII is mentioned in this manual, we mean the @em real ASCII
 * (i.e. as defined in ANSI_X3.4-1968), which contains only 7-bit characters.
 * Glib::ustring can @em not be used with ASCII-compatible extended 8-bit
 * charsets like ISO-8859-1.  It's a good idea to avoid string literals
 * containing non-ASCII characters (e.g. German umlauts) in source code,
 * or at least you should use UTF-8 literals.
 * @par
 * You can find a detailed UTF-8 and %Unicode FAQ here:
 * http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html
 *
 * @par Glib::ustring vs. std::string
 * @par
 * Glib::ustring has implicit type conversions to and from std::string.
 * These conversions do @em not convert to/from the current locale (see
 * Glib::locale_from_utf8() and Glib::locale_to_utf8() if you need that).  You
 * can always use std::string instead of Glib::ustring&nbsp;-- however, using
 * std::string with multi-byte characters is quite hard.  For instance,
 * <tt>std::string::operator[]</tt> might return a byte in the middle of a
 * character, and <tt>std::string::length()</tt> returns the number of bytes
 * rather than characters.  So don't do that without a good reason.
 * @par
 * Many member functions and operators of Glib::ustring and Glib::ustring_Iterator
 * assume that the string contains only valid UTF-8 data. If it does not, memory
 * outside the bounds of the string can be accessed.
 * @par
 * In a perfect world the C++ Standard Library would contain a UTF-8 string
 * class.  Unfortunately, the C++98 standard doesn't mention UTF-8 at all.
 * C++11 has UTF-8 literals but no UTF-8 string class. Note
 * that std::wstring is not a UTF-8 string class because it contains only
 * fixed-width characters (where width could be 32, 16, or even 8 bits).
 *
 * @par Glib::ustring and stream input/output
 * @par
 * The stream I/O operators, that is operator<<() and operator>>(), perform
 * implicit charset conversion to/from the current locale.  If that's not
 * what you intended (e.g. when writing to a configuration file that should
 * always be UTF-8 encoded) use ustring::raw() to override this behaviour.
 * @par
 * If you're using std::ostringstream to build strings for display in the
 * user interface, you must convert the result back to UTF-8 as shown below:
 * @code
 * std::locale::global(std::locale("")); // set the global locale to the user's preferred locale
 * std::ostringstream output;
 * output << percentage << " % done";
 * label->set_text(Glib::locale_to_utf8(output.str()));
 * @endcode
 *
 * @par Formatted output and internationalization
 * @par
 * The methods ustring::compose() and ustring::format() provide a convenient
 * and powerful alternative to string streams, as shown in the example below.
 * Refer to the method documentation of compose() and format() for details.
 * @code
 * using Glib::ustring;
 *
 * ustring message = ustring::compose("%1 is lower than 0x%2.",
 *                                    12, ustring::format(std::hex, 16));
 * @endcode
 *
 * @par Implementation notes
 * @par
 * Glib::ustring does not inherit from std::string, because std::string was
 * intended to be a final class.  For instance, it does not have a virtual
 * destructor.  Also, a HAS-A relationship is more appropriate because
 * ustring can't just enhance the std::string interface.  Rather, it has to
 * reimplement the interface so that all operations are based on characters
 * instead of bytes.
