/**
 * A class for representing string return values.  This can be either passed to
 * callees that have an nsString or nsAString out param or passed to a callee
 * that actually knows about this class and can work with it.  Such a callee may
 * call SetStringBuffer or SetEphemeralStringBuffer or SetOwnedString or
 * SetOwnedAtom on this object.  It's only OK to call
 * SetStringBuffer/SetOwnedString/SetOwnedAtom if the caller of the method in
 * question plans to keep holding a strong ref to the stringbuffer involved,
 * whether it's a raw nsStringBuffer, or stored inside the string or atom being
 * passed.  In the string/atom cases that means the caller must own the string
 * or atom, and not mutate it (in the string case) for the lifetime of the
 * DOMString.
 *
 * The proper way to store a value in this class is to either to do nothing
 * (which leaves this as an empty string), to call
 * SetStringBuffer/SetEphemeralStringBuffer with a non-null stringbuffer, to
 * call SetOwnedString, to call SetOwnedAtom, to call SetNull(), or to call
 * AsAString() and set the value in the resulting nsString.  These options are
 * mutually exclusive! Don't do more than one of them.
 *
 * The proper way to extract a value is to check IsNull().  If not null, then
 * check HasStringBuffer().  If that's true, check for a zero length, and if the
 * length is nonzero call StringBuffer().  If the length is zero this is the
 * empty string.  If HasStringBuffer() returns false, call AsAString() and get
 * the value from that.
