+/**
+ * String class used universally in Main for COM-style Utf-16 strings.
+ *
+ * Unfortunately COM on Windows uses UTF-16 everywhere, requiring conversions
+ * back and forth since most of VirtualBox and our libraries use UTF-8.
+ *
+ * To make things more obscure, on Windows, a COM-style BSTR is not just a
+ * pointer to a null-terminated wide character array, but the four bytes (32
+ * bits) BEFORE the memory that the pointer points to are a length DWORD. One
+ * must therefore avoid pointer arithmetic and always use SysAllocString and
+ * the like to deal with BSTR pointers, which manage that DWORD correctly.
+ *
+ * For platforms other than Windows, we provide our own versions of the Sys*
+ * functions in Main/xpcom/helpers.cpp which do NOT use length prefixes though
+ * to be compatible with how XPCOM allocates string parameters to public
+ * functions.
+ *
+ * The Bstr class hides all this handling behind a std::string-like interface
+ * and also provides automatic conversions to RTCString and Utf8Str instances.
+ *
+ * The one advantage of using the SysString* routines is that this makes it
+ * possible to use it as a type of member variables of COM/XPCOM components and
+ * pass their values to callers through component methods' output parameters
+ * using the #cloneTo() operation. Also, the class can adopt (take ownership
+ * of) string buffers returned in output parameters of COM methods using the
+ * #asOutParam() operation and correctly free them afterwards.
+ *
+ * Starting with VirtualBox 3.2, like Utf8Str, Bstr no longer differentiates
+ * between NULL strings and empty strings. In other words, Bstr("") and
+ * Bstr(NULL) behave the same. In both cases, Bstr allocates no memory,
+ * reports a zero length and zero allocated bytes for both, and returns an
+ * empty C wide string from raw().
+ *
+ * @note All Bstr methods ASSUMES valid UTF-16 or UTF-8 input strings.
+ * The VirtualBox policy in this regard is to validate strings coming
+ * from external sources before passing them to Bstr or Utf8Str.
