/** @defgroup ReducersString String Reducers
 *
 *  String reducers allow the creation of a string by concatenating a set of
 *  strings or characters in parallel.
 *
 *  @ingroup Reducers
 *
 *  You should be familiar with @ref pagereducers "Intel(R) Cilk(TM) Plus reducers",
 *  described in file reducers.md, and particularly with @ref reducers_using,
 *  before trying to use the information in this file.
 *
 *  @section redstring_usage Usage Example
 *
 *      vector<Data> data;
 *      void expensive_string_computation(const Data& x, string& s);
 *      cilk::reducer<cilk::op_string> r;
 *      cilk_for (int i = 0; i != data.size(); ++i) {
 *          string temp;
 *          expensive_string_computation(data[i], temp);
 *          *r += temp;
 *      }
 *      string result;
 *      r.move_out(result);
 *
 *  @section redstring_monoid The Monoid
 *
 *  @subsection redstring_monoid_values Value Set
 *
 *  The value set of a string reducer is the set of values of the class
 *  `std::basic_string<Char, Traits, Alloc>`, which we refer to as "the
 *  reducer's string type".
 *
 *  @subsection redstring_monoid_operator Operator
 *
 *  The operator of a string reducer is the string concatenation operator,
 *  defined by the "`+`" binary operator on the reducer's string type.
 *
 *  @subsection redstring_monoid_identity Identity
 *
 *  The identity value of a string reducer is the empty string, which is the
 *  value of the expression
 *  `std::basic_string<Char, Traits, Alloc>([allocator])`.
 *
 *  @section redstring_operations Operations
 *
 *  In the operation descriptions below, the type name `String` refers to the
 *  reducer's string type, `std::basic_string<Char, Traits, Alloc>`.
 *
 *  @subsection redstring_constructors Constructors
 *
 *  Any argument list which is valid for a `std::basic_string` constructor is
 *  valid for a string reducer constructor. The usual move-in constructor is
 *  also provided:
 *
 *      reducer(move_in(String& variable))
 *
 *  @subsection redstring_get_set Set and Get
 *
 *      r.set_value(const String& value)
 *      const String& = r.get_value() const
 *      r.move_in(String& variable)
 *      r.move_out(String& variable)
 *
 *  @subsection redstring_initial Initial Values
 *
 *  A string reducer with no constructor arguments, or with only an allocator
 *  argument, will initially contain the identity value, an empty string.
 *
 *  @subsection redstring_view_ops View Operations
 *
 *      *r += a
 *      r->append(a)
 *      r->append(a, b)
 *      r->push_back(a)
 *
 *  These operations on string reducer views are the same as the corresponding
 *  operations on strings.
 *
 *  @section redstring_performance Performance Considerations
 *
 *  String reducers work by creating a string for each view, collecting those
 *  strings in a list, and then concatenating them into a single result string
 *  at the end of the computation. This last step takes place in serial code,
 *  and necessarily takes time proportional to the length of the result string.
 *  Thus, a parallel string reducer cannot actually speed up the time spent
 *  directly creating the string. This trivial example would probably be slower
 *  (because of reducer overhead) than the corresponding serial code:
 *
 *      vector<string> a;
 *      reducer<op_string> r;
 *      cilk_for (int i = 0; i != a.length(); ++i) {
 *          *r += a[i];
 *      }
 *      string result;
 *      r.move_out(result);
 *
 *  What a string reducer _can_ do is to allow the _remainder_ of the
 *  computation to be done in parallel, without having to worry about managing
 *  the string computation.
 *
 *  The strings for new views are created (by the view identity constructor)
 *  using the same allocator as the string that was created when the reducer
 *  was constructed. Note that this allocator is determined when the reducer is
 *  constructed. The following two examples may have very different behavior:
 *
 *      string<Char, Traits, Allocator> a_string;
 *
 *      reducer< op_string<Char, Traits, Allocator> reducer1(move_in(a_string));
 *      ... parallel computation ...
 *      reducer1.move_out(a_string);
 *
 *      reducer< op_string<Char, Traits, Allocator> reducer2;
 *      reducer2.move_in(a_string);
 *      ... parallel computation ...
 *      reducer2.move_out(a_string);
 *
 *  *   `reducer1` will be constructed with the same allocator as `a_string`,
 *      because the string was specified in the constructor. The `move_in`
 *      and `move_out` can therefore be done with a `swap` in constant time.
 *  *   `reducer2` will be constructed with a _default_ allocator of type
 *      `Allocator`, which may not be the same as the allocator of `a_string`.
 *      Therefore, the `move_in` and `move_out` may have to be done with a copy
 *      in _O(N)_ time.
 *
 *  (All instances of an allocator type with no internal state (like
 *  `std::allocator`) are "the same". You only need to worry about the "same
 *  allocator" issue when you create string reducers with custom allocator
 *  types.)
 *
 *  @section redstring_types Type and Operator Requirements
 *
 *  `std::basic_string<Char, Traits, Alloc>` must be a valid type.

/** The string append reducer view class.
