/*! \class ASCString ASCString.h

    \brief The ASCString class provides an abstract way to manipulate strings.

    Depending on the prepocessor definition _UNICODE, ASCString will use Unicode text or C-null 
    terminated char array.

    \warning
    Be extremely carefull if you have to modify this class. No virtual destructor is provided. 
    This may result in memory leaks if you modify this class to free dynamically allocated memory
    in its destructor.
    The same warning applies to classes deriving from ASCString ( if any ).

    \code

    ASCString* pStr = new ASCString( "My string" );

    ASCInheritedString* pInherited = ( ASCInheritedString* ) pStr;

    // pStr's destructor will not be called when deleting pInherited. 
    // If ASCString has been modified to free memory in its destructor, 
    // this memory will never be freed up.
    delete pInherited;      

    \endcode
