+//! This module provides rust bindings for the XPCOM string types.
+//!
+//! # TL;DR (what types should I use)
+//!
+//! Use `&{mut,} nsA[C]String` for functions in rust which wish to take or
+//! mutate XPCOM strings. The other string types `Deref` to this type.
+//!
+//! Use `ns[C]String<'a>` for string struct members which don't leave rust, and
+//! as an intermediate between rust string data structures (such as `String`,
+//! `Vec<u16>`, `&str`, and `&[u16]`) and `&{mut,} nsA[C]String` (using
+//! `ns[C]String::from(value)`). These conversions, when possible, will not
+//! perform any allocations.
+//!
+//! Use `nsFixed[C]String` or `ns_auto_[c]string!` for dynamic stack allocated
+//! strings which are expected to hold short string values.
+//!
+//! Use `*{const,mut} nsA[C]String` (`{const,} nsA[C]String*` in C++) for
+//! function arguments passed across the rust/C++ language boundary.
+//!
+//! Use `ns[C]StringRepr` for string struct members which are shared between
+//! rust and C++, but be careful, because this type lacks a `Drop`
+//! implementation.
+//!
+//! # String Types
+//!
+//! ## `nsA[C]String`
+//!
+//! The core types in this module are `nsAString` and `nsACString`. These types
+//! are zero-sized as far as rust is concerned, and are safe to pass around
+//! behind both references (in rust code), and pointers (in C++ code). They
+//! represent a handle to a XPCOM string which holds either `u16` or `u8`
+//! characters respectively. The backing character buffer is guaranteed to live
+//! as long as the reference to the `nsAString` or `nsACString`.
+//!
+//! These types in rust are simply used as dummy types. References to them
+//! represent a pointer to the beginning of a variable-sized `#[repr(C)]` struct
+//! which is common between both C++ and Rust implementations. In C++, their
+//! corresponding types are also named `nsAString` or `nsACString`, and they are
+//! defined within the `nsTSubstring.{cpp,h}` file.
+//!
+//! ### Valid Operations
+//!
+//! An `&nsA[C]String` acts like rust's `&str`, in that it is a borrowed
+//! reference to the backing data. When used as an argument to other functions
+//! on `&mut nsA[C]String`, optimizations can be performed to avoid copying
+//! buffers, as information about the backing storage is preserved.
+//!
+//! An `&mut nsA[C]String` acts like rust's `&mut Cow<str>`, in that it is a
+//! mutable reference to a potentially borrowed string, which when modified will
+//! ensure that it owns its own backing storage. This type can be appended to
+//! with the methods `.append`, `.append_utf{8,16}`, and with the `write!`
+//! macro, and can be assigned to with `.assign`.
+//!
+//! ## `ns[C]String<'a>`
+//!
+//! This type is an maybe-owned string type. It acts similarially to a
+//! `Cow<[{u8,u16}]>`. This type provides `Deref` and `DerefMut` implementations
+//! to `nsA[C]String`, which provides the methods for manipulating this type.
+//! This type's lifetime parameter, `'a`, represents the lifetime of the backing
+//! storage. When modified this type may re-allocate in order to ensure that it
+//! does not mutate its backing storage.
+//!
+//! `ns[C]String`s can be constructed either with `ns[C]String::new()`, which
+//! creates an empty `ns[C]String<'static>`, or through one of the provided
+//! `From` implementations. Both string types may be constructed `From<&'a
+//! str>`, with `nsCString` having a `'a` lifetime, as the storage is shared
+//! with the `str`, while `nsString` has a `'static` lifetime, as its storage
+//! has to be transcoded.
+//!
+//! When passing this type by reference, prefer passing a `&nsA[C]String` or
+//! `&mut nsA[C]String`. to passing this type.
+//!
+//! This type is _not_ `#[repr(C)]`, as it has a `Drop` impl, which in versions
+//! of `rustc < 1.13` adds drop flags to the struct, which messes up the layout,
+//! making it unsafe to pass across the FFI boundary. The rust compiler will
+//! warn if this type appears in `extern "C"` function definitions.
+//!
+//! When passing this type across the language boundary, pass it as `*const
+//! nsA[C]String` for an immutable reference, or `*mut nsA[C]String` for a
+//! mutable reference.
+//!
+//! This type is similar to the C++ type of the same name.
+//!
+//! ## `nsFixed[C]String<'a>`
+//!
+//! This type is a string type with fixed backing storage. It is created with
+//! `nsFixed[C]String::new(buffer)`, passing a mutable reference to a buffer as
+//! the argument. This buffer will be used as backing storage whenever the
+//! resulting string will fit within it, falling back to heap allocations only
+//! when the string size exceeds that of the backing buffer.
+//!
+//! Like `ns[C]String`, this type dereferences to `nsA[C]String` which provides
+//! the methods for manipulating the type, and is not `#[repr(C)]`.
+//!
+//! When passing this type by reference, prefer passing a `&nsA[C]String` or
+//! `&mut nsA[C]String`. to passing this type.
+//!
+//! This type is _not_ `#[repr(C)]`, as it has a `Drop` impl, which in versions
+//! of `rustc < 1.13` adds drop flags to the struct, which messes up the layout,
+//! making it unsafe to pass across the FFI boundary. The rust compiler will
+//! warn if this type appears in `extern "C"` function definitions.
+//!
+//! When passing this type across the language boundary, pass it as `*const
+//! nsA[C]String` for an immutable reference, or `*mut nsA[C]String` for a
+//! mutable reference.
+//!
+//! This type is similar to the C++ type of the same name.
+//!
+//! ## `ns_auto_[c]string!($name)`
+//!
+//! This is a helper macro which defines a fixed size, (currently 64 character),
+//! backing array on the stack, and defines a local variable with name `$name`
+//! which is a `nsFixed[C]String` using this buffer as its backing storage.
+//!
+//! Usage of this macro is similar to the C++ type `nsAuto[C]String`, but could
+//! not be implemented as a basic type due to the differences between rust and
+//! C++'s move semantics.
+//!
+//! ## `ns[C]StringRepr`
+//!
+//! This type represents a C++ `ns[C]String`. This type is `#[repr(C)]` and is
+//! safe to use in struct definitions which are shared across the language
+//! boundary. It automatically dereferences to `&{mut,} nsA[C]String`, and thus
+//! can be treated similarially to `ns[C]String`.
+//!
+//! If this type is dropped in rust, it will not free its backing storage. This
+//! is because types implementing `Drop` have a drop flag added, which messes up
+//! the layout of this type. When drop flags are removed, which should happen in
+//! `rustc 1.13` (see rust-lang/rust#35764), this type will likely be removed,
+//! and replaced with direct usage of `ns[C]String<'a>`, as its layout may be
+//! identical. This module provides rust bindings to our xpcom ns[C]String
+//! types.
