    //! Compile-time string.
    //!
    //! Conceptually, a `hana::string` is like a tuple holding
    //! `integral_constant`s of underlying type `char`. However, the
    //! interface of `hana::string` is not as rich as that of a tuple,
    //! because a string can only hold compile-time characters as opposed
    //! to any kind of object.
    //!
    //! Compile-time strings are used for simple purposes like being keys in a
    //! `hana::map` or tagging the members of a `Struct`. However, you might
    //! find that `hana::string` does not provide enough functionality to be
    //! used as a full-blown compile-time string implementation (e.g. regexp
    //! matching or substring finding). Indeed, providing a comprehensive
    //! string interface is a lot of job, and it is out of the scope of the
    //! library for the time being.
    //!
    //!
    //! @note
    //! The representation of `hana::string` is implementation-defined.
    //! In particular, one should not take for granted that the template
    //! parameters are `char`s. The proper way to access the contents of
    //! a `hana::string` as character constants is to use `hana::unpack`,
    //! `.c_str()` or `hana::to<char const*>`, as documented below. More
    //! details [in the tutorial](@ref tutorial-containers-types).
    //!
    //!
    //! Modeled concepts
    //! ----------------
    //! For most purposes, a `hana::string` is functionally equivalent to a
    //! tuple holding `Constant`s of underlying type `char`.
    //!
    //! 1. `Comparable`\n
    //! Two strings are equal if and only if they have the same number of
    //! characters and characters at corresponding indices are equal.
    //! @include example/string/comparable.cpp
    //!
    //! 2. `Orderable`\n
    //! The total order implemented for `Orderable` is the usual
    //! lexicographical comparison of strings.
    //! @include example/string/orderable.cpp
    //!
    //! 3. `Monoid`\n
    //! Strings form a monoid under concatenation, with the neutral element
    //! being the empty string.
    //! @include example/string/monoid.cpp
    //!
    //! 4. `Foldable`\n
    //! Folding a string is equivalent to folding the sequence of its
    //! characters.
    //! @include example/string/foldable.cpp
    //!
    //! 5. `Iterable`\n
    //! Iterating over a string is equivalent to iterating over the sequence
    //! of its characters. Also note that `operator[]` can be used instead of
    //! the `at` function.
    //! @include example/string/iterable.cpp
    //!
    //! 6. `Searchable`\n
    //! Searching through a string is equivalent to searching through the
    //! sequence of its characters.
    //! @include example/string/searchable.cpp
    //!
    //! 7. `Hashable`\n
    //! The hash of a compile-time string is a type uniquely representing
    //! that string.
    //! @include example/string/hashable.cpp
    //!
    //!
    //! Conversion to `char const*`
    //! ---------------------------
    //! A `hana::string` can be converted to a `constexpr` null-delimited
    //! string of type `char const*` by using the `c_str()` method or
    //! `hana::to<char const*>`. This makes it easy to turn a compile-time
    //! string into a runtime string. However, note that this conversion is
    //! not an embedding, because `char const*` does not model the same
    //! concepts as `hana::string` does.
    //! @include example/string/to.cpp
    //!
    //! Conversion from any Constant holding a `char const*`
    //! ----------------------------------------------------
    //! A `hana::string` can be created from any `Constant` whose underlying
    //! value is convertible to a `char const*` by using `hana::to`. The
    //! contents of the `char const*` are used to build the content of the
    //! `hana::string`.
    //! @include example/string/from_c_str.cpp
    //!
    //! Rationale for `hana::string` not being a `Constant` itself
    //! ----------------------------------------------------------
    //! The underlying type held by a `hana::string` could be either `char const*`
    //! or some other constexpr-enabled string-like container. In the first case,
    //! `hana::string` can not be a `Constant` because the models of several
    //! concepts would not be respected by the underlying type, causing `value`
    //! not to be structure-preserving. Providing an underlying value of
    //! constexpr-enabled string-like container type like `std::string_view`
    //! would be great, but that's a bit complicated for the time being.

        //! @note
        //! Only narrow string literals are supported right now; support for

        //! [Hana.issue80] if you need this.
        //!
        //! @warning
        //! This user-defined literal is an extension which requires a special
        //! string literal operator that is not part of the standard yet.
        //! That operator is supported by both Clang and GCC, and several
        //! proposals were made for it to enter C++17. However, since it is
        //! not standard, it is disabled by default and defining the
        //! `BOOST_HANA_CONFIG_ENABLE_STRING_UDL` config macro is required
        //! to get this operator. Hence, if you want to stay safe, just use
        //! the `BOOST_HANA_STRING` macro instead. If you want to be fast and
        //! furious (I do), define `BOOST_HANA_CONFIG_ENABLE_STRING_UDL`.
