//! \brief Manipulate strings.
/*!
  The MString class implements a string class, and is used to pass
  all string arguments to Maya API methods.

  The MString class supports localized strings.
  Use of the MString class to store and manipulate strings largely insulates
  the code from locale-dependent processing. Code that uses the class
  and its methods will in most cases operate seamlessly
  in both multibyte and single-byte environments. Knowledge of the underlying
  string storage mechanism or encoding is not required to use the class, and
  assumptions about this should not be made by the calling code.

  Unless otherwise indicated, MString methods accepting or returning string
  contents via character buffers (char *) use the convention that the
  string contents are in the locale's native multibyte encoding.
  Methods which explicitly support other common encodings and representations
  such as UTF-8 and wchar_t are also provided.
  Code that manipulates string contents should use the multibyte-safe
  methods provided by the class.
  Refer to documentation on individual MString methods for more information.
