 *
 * A `blender::StringRef` references a const char array owned by someone else. It is just a pointer
 * and a size. Since the memory is not owned, StringRef should not be used to transfer ownership of
 * the string. The data referenced by a StringRef cannot be mutated through it.
 *
 * A StringRef is NOT null-terminated. This makes it much more powerful within C++, because we can
 * also cut off parts of the end without creating a copy. When interfacing with C code that expects
 * null-terminated strings, `blender::StringRefNull` can be used. It is essentially the same as
 * StringRef, but with the restriction that the string has to be null-terminated.
 *
 * Whenever possible, string parameters should be of type StringRef and the string return type
 * should be StringRefNull. Don't forget that the StringRefNull does not own the string, so don't
 * return it when the string exists only in the scope of the function. This convention makes
 * functions usable in the most contexts.
 *
 * blender::StringRef vs. std::string_view:
 *   Both types are certainly very similar. The main benefit of using StringRef in Blender is that
 *   this allows us to add convenience methods at any time. Especially, when doing a lot of string
 *   manipulation, this helps to keep the code clean. Furthermore, we need StringRefNull anyway,
 *   because there is a lot of C code that expects null-terminated strings. Conversion between
 *   StringRef and string_view is very cheap and can be done at api boundaries at essentially no
 *   cost. Another benefit of using StringRef is that it uses signed integers, thus developers
 *   have to deal less with issues resulting from unsigned integers.
