C.1.5 String Changes

The class hierarchy of `csString' has changed. Most functionality is now provided by the new superclass `csStringBase'. From this, csStringFast<> is subclassed, and `csString' descends from csStringFast<>. csStringFast<> is a templated class featuring an internal character buffer which is used instead of dynamically heap-allocated memory when the string length is sufficently short (as controlled by the class template argument). This generalization can make `csStringFast<>' (and its subclass `csString') much faster when used as automatic (stack-allocated) variables, even when declared inside `for{}'-loops, since slow heap-allocation often can be avoided.

For simplification purposes, several methods have been removed from `csString' and `iString' (when present):
