/**
 * \class FancyString
 * \brief A special string type that is used to aid I/O operations in DOM-based object readers/writers.
 *
 * This class is created for the purpose of overloading the ">>" and "<<" operators for the string type
 * to perform DOM-related operations. As ITK has overloaded this operator
 * for other operations, we need a new string type to use this operator in our implementation.
 * In addition, this class can be used anywhere that expects a "const char *" to avoid explicit type casting.
 *
 * This class also adds new string manipulation functions to std::string, including trims, case conversions,
 * splits, comparisons, sub-string tests, and so on.
