+A string may be constructed either from a C string, (some number of copies of)
a single character or a wide (UNICODE) string. For all constructors (except the
default which creates an empty string) there is also a corresponding assignment
operator.
Many functions in this section take a character index in the string. As with C
strings and/or arrays, the indices start from $0$, so the first character of a
string is string[$0$]. Attempt to access a character beyond the end of the

failure in \helpref{debug build}{debuggingoverview}, but no checks are done in
release builds.
\helpref{StartsWith}{wxstringstartswith} is helpful when parsing a line of
text which should start with some predefined prefix and is more efficient than
