	LICENSE

	    This software is in the public domain. Where that dedication is not
	    recognized, you are granted a perpetual, irrevocable license to copy,
	    distribute, and modify this file as you see fit.

	How to use:

	    Do this:
	        #define GB_STRING_IMPLEMENTATION
	    before you include this file in *one* C++ file to create the implementation

	    i.e. it should look like this:
	    #include ...
	    #include ...
	    #include ...
	    #define GB_STRING_IMPLEMENTATION
	    #include "gb_string.h"

	    You can #define GB_ALLOC, and GB_FREE to avoid using malloc,free.

	    If you prefer to use C++, you can use all the same functions in a
	    namespace instead, do this:
	        #define GB_STRING_CPP
	    before you include the header file

	    i.e it should look like this:
	    #define GB_STRING_CPP
	    #include "gb_string.h"

	    The C++ version has the advantage that you do not need to reassign variables
	    i.e.

	        C version
	        str = gb_append_cstring(str, "another string");
	        C++ version
	        gb::append_cstring(str, "another string");

	        This could be achieved in C by passing a pointer to the string but for
	        simplicity and consistency, reassigning the variable is better.

	Reasoning:

	    By default, strings in C are null terminated which means you have to count
	    the number of character up to the null character to calculate the length.
	    Many "better" C string libraries will create a struct for a string.
	    i.e.

	        struct String {
	            size_t length;
	            size_t capacity;
	            char *  cstring;
	        };

	    This library tries to augment normal C strings in a better way that is still
	    compatible with C-style strings.

	    +--------+-----------------------+-----------------+
	    | Header | Binary C-style String | Null Terminator |
	    +--------+-----------------------+-----------------+
	             |
	             +-> Pointer returned by functions

	    Due to the meta-data being stored before the string pointer and every gb string
	    having an implicit null terminator, gb strings are full compatible with c-style
	    strings and read-only functions.

	Advantages:

	    * gb strings can be passed to C-style string functions without accessing a struct
	      member of calling a function, i.e.

	          printf("%s\n", gb_str);

	      Many other libraries do either of these:

	          printf("%s\n", string->cstr);
	          printf("%s\n", get_cstring(string));

	    * You can access each character just like a C-style string:

	          printf("%c %c\n", str[0], str[13]);

	    * gb strings are singularly allocated. The meta-data is next to the character
	      array which is better for the cache.

	Disadvantages:

	    * In the C version of these functions, many return the new string. i.e.

	          str = gb_append_cstring(str, "another string");

	      In the C++ version, this is made easier with the use of references. i.e.

	          gb::append_cstring(str, "another string");

	    * Custom allocators must redefine GB_ALLOC and GB_FREE which can be annoying.
	      realloc is not used for compatibility with many custom allocators that do not
	      have a reallocation function.

	    * This is not compatible with the "gb.h" gbString. That version is a better version
	      as it allows for custom allocators.
