/** A modifiable string with a fixed-size storage area.

    These objects behave like `std::string` except that the storage
    is not dynamically allocated but rather fixed in size.

    These strings offer performance advantages when a protocol
    imposes a natural small upper limit on the size of a value.

    @note The stored string is always null-terminated.
