A string for passing to C api functions. The C-compatible form is computed lazily; it will not be forced until the string is passed to a C API function. Internally, this is stored as a Builder with no trailing nul, so performance characteristics are mostly the same, only requiring a copy when first passing the string to an API function.

wrapper around a nul-terminated C style string; the pointer points to the beginning of the string.

Users of the library will mostly not use this directly, instead using CString.

Use the raw pointer underlying the CString.

Convert a Builder to a CString. The builder should not have a nul terminator; it will be added.

Extract a bytestring builder for the string. Does not include the nul terminator. O(1).
