/// Placeholder type to interact with the native type Eina_Stringshare, mainly for eina containers.

/// <para>Since EFL 1.23.</para>
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Using System.String and merely converting this type to it (by cast or implicitly)
/// is recommended for simplicity and ease of use.
///
/// This type is just a System.String wrapper that works as a placeholder for
/// instrumentalizing proper interaction with native EFL API that demands
/// strings to be stringshares.
///
/// Both C strings and eina stringshares are bound as regular strings in EFL#,
/// as working directly with these types would demand unnecessary hassle from
/// the user viewpoint.
/// But for eina containers this distinction is important, and since C# generics
/// do not provide a convenient way of dealing with the same type requiring
/// a different management based on some other condition (at least not without
/// compromising the usability for other types), we use this string wrapper
/// in order to signal this distinction.
///
/// Implements equality/inequality methods for easier comparison with strings and
/// other Stringshare objects. For more specific operations convert to a string.
