/***********************************************************************
  MODULE NOTES:

    A. There are two philosophies to building string classes:
        1. Hide the underlying buffer & offer API's allow indirect iteration
        2. Reveal underlying buffer, risk corruption, but gain performance
        
       We chose the second option for performance reasons. 

    B Our internal buffer always holds capacity+1 bytes.
