/**
  This String class provide base functionality for C++ like Unicode
  character array handling. The advantage of this class is, that it
  handle all the memory management for you - and it do it
  more efficient. If you assign a string to another string, the
  data of both strings are shared (without any copy operation or
  memory allocation) as long as you do not change the string. This class
  stores also the length of the string, so that many operations are
  faster as the C-str-functions.

  This class provide only readonly string handling. So you could create
  a string and you could only query the content from this string.
  It provide also functionality to change the string, but this results
  in every case in a new string instance (in the most cases with an
  memory allocation). You don't have functionality to change the
  content of the string. If you want change the string content, than
  you should us the OStringBuffer class, which provide these
  functionality and avoid to much memory allocation.

  The design of this class is similar to the string classes in Java
  and so more people should have fewer understanding problems when they
  use this class.

        units.

        See Chapter 3 of The Unicode Standard 5.0 (Addison--Wesley, 2006) for
        definitions of the various terms used in this description.

        This string is interpreted as a sequence of zero or more UTF-16 code
        units.  For each index into this sequence (from zero to one less than
        the length of the sequence, inclusive), a code point represented
        starting at the given index is computed as follows:

        - If the UTF-16 code unit addressed by the index constitutes a
        well-formed UTF-16 code unit sequence, the computed code point is the
        scalar value encoded by that UTF-16 code unit sequence.

        - Otherwise, if the index is at least two UTF-16 code units away from
        the end of the sequence, and the sequence of two UTF-16 code units
        addressed by the index constitutes a well-formed UTF-16 code unit
        sequence, the computed code point is the scalar value encoded by that
        UTF-16 code unit sequence.

        - Otherwise, the computed code point is the UTF-16 code unit addressed
        by the index.  (This last case catches unmatched surrogates as well as
        indices pointing into the middle of surrogate pairs.)

        @param indexUtf16
        pointer to a UTF-16 based index into this string; must not be null.  On
        entry, the index must be in the range from zero to the length of this
        string (in UTF-16 code units), inclusive.  Upon successful return, the
        index will be updated to address the UTF-16 code unit that is the given
        incrementCodePoints away from the initial index.

        @param incrementCodePoints
        the number of code points to move the given *indexUtf16.  If
        non-negative, moving is done after determining the code point at the
        index.  If negative, moving is done before determining the code point
        at the (then updated) index.  The value must be such that the resulting
        UTF-16 based index is in the range from zero to the length of this
        string (in UTF-16 code units), inclusive.

        @return
        the code point (an integer in the range from 0 to 0x10FFFF, inclusive)
        that is represented within this string starting at the index computed as
        follows:  If incrementCodePoints is non-negative, the index is the
        initial value of *indexUtf16; if incrementCodePoints is negative, the
        index is the updated value of *indexUtf16.  In either case, the computed
        index must be in the range from zero to one less than the length of this
