    29  * Bounded string implementation.
    30  * 
    31  * The UCX strings (<code>sstr_t</code>) provide an alternative to C strings.
    32  * The main difference to C strings is, that <code>sstr_t</code> does <b>not
    33  * need to be <code>NULL</code>-terminated</b>. Instead the length is stored
    34  * within the structure.
    35  * 
    36  * When using <code>sstr_t</code>, developers must be full aware of what type
    37  * of string (<code>NULL</code>-terminated) or not) they are using, when 
    38  * accessing the <code>char* ptr</code> directly.
    39  * 
    40  * The UCX string module provides some common string functions, known from
    41  * standard libc, working with <code>sstr_t</code>.
