+ * Cords are immutable character strings. A number of operations
+ * on long cords are much more efficient than their strings.h counterpart.
+ * In particular, concatenation takes constant time independent of the length
+ * of the arguments. (Cords are represented as trees, with internal
+ * nodes representing concatenation and leaves consisting of either C
+ * strings or a functional description of the string.)
+ *
+ * The following are reasonable applications of cords. They would perform
+ * unacceptably if C strings were used:
+ * - A compiler that produces assembly language output by repeatedly
+ * concatenating instructions onto a cord representing the output file.
+ * - A text editor that converts the input file to a cord, and then
+ * performs editing operations by producing a new cord representing
+ * the file after echa character change (and keeping the old ones in an
+ * edit history)
+ *
+ * For optimal performance, cords should be built by
+ * concatenating short sections.
+ * This interface is designed for maximum compatibility with C strings.
+ * ASCII NUL characters may be embedded in cords using CORD_from_fn.
+ * This is handled correctly, but CORD_to_char_star will produce a string
+ * with embedded NULs when given such a cord.
+ *
+ * This interface is fairly big, largely for performance reasons.
+ * The most basic constants and functions:
+ *
+ * CORD - the type fo a cord;
+ * CORD_EMPTY - empty cord;
+ * CORD_len(cord) - length of a cord;
+ * CORD_cat(cord1,cord2) - concatenation of two cords;
+ * CORD_substr(cord, start, len) - substring (or subcord);
+ * CORD_pos i; CORD_FOR(i, cord) { ... CORD_pos_fetch(i) ... } -
+ * examine each character in a cord. CORD_pos_fetch(i) is the char.
+ * CORD_fetch(int i) - Retrieve i'th character (slowly).
+ * CORD_cmp(cord1, cord2) - compare two cords.
+ * CORD_from_file(FILE * f) - turn a read-only file into a cord.
+ * CORD_to_char_star(cord) - convert to C string.
+ * (Non-NULL C constant strings are cords.)
+ * CORD_printf (etc.) - cord version of printf. Use %r for cords.
