/**
 * @defgroup DBusString string class
 * @ingroup  DBusInternals
 * @brief DBusString data structure
 *
 * Types and functions related to DBusString. DBusString is intended
 * to be a string class that makes it hard to mess up security issues
 * (and just in general harder to write buggy code).  It should be
 * used (or extended and then used) rather than the libc stuff in
 * string.h.  The string class is a bit inconvenient at spots because
 * it handles out-of-memory failures and tries to be extra-robust.
 * 
 * A DBusString has a maximum length set at initialization time; this
 * can be used to ensure that a buffer doesn't get too big.  The
 * _dbus_string_lengthen() method checks for overflow, and for max
 * length being exceeded.
 * 
 * Try to avoid conversion to a plain C string, i.e. add methods on
 * the string object instead, only convert to C string when passing
 * things out to the public API. In particular, no sprintf, strcpy,
 * strcat, any of that should be used. The GString feature of
 * accepting negative numbers for "length of string" is also absent,
 * because it could keep us from detecting bogus huge lengths. i.e. if
 * we passed in some bogus huge length it would be taken to mean
 * "current length of string" instead of "broken crack"
 *
 * @todo #DBusString needs a lot of cleaning up; some of the
 * API is no longer used, and the API is pretty inconsistent.
 * In particular all the "append" APIs, especially those involving
 * alignment but probably lots of them, are no longer used by the
 * marshaling code which always does "inserts" now.
