// Functions or methods may use const StringPiece& parameters to accept either
// a "const char*" or a "string" value that will be implicitly converted to
// a StringPiece.  The implicit conversion means that it is often appropriate
// to include this .h file in other files rather than forward-declaring
// StringPiece as would be appropriate for most other Google classes.
//
// Systematic usage of StringPiece is encouraged as it will reduce unnecessary
// conversions from "const char*" to "string" and back again.
//
//
// Arghh!  I wish C++ literals were "string".
