| This directory is a home to functions that work with text-as-strings. The | |
| interface to most functions in here are `std::string` and `absl::string_view` | |
| (eventually `std::string_view` once minimum library requirements move beyond | |
| C++11), and `std::istream` and `std::ostream`. | |
| If there's a pure string operation that is not already covered by | |
| [absl's string library](https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/tree/master/absl/strings), | |
| it should go here. |
