/** @brief Template class StringFeatures implements a list of strings.
 *
 * As this class is a template the underlying storage type is quite arbitrary and
 * not limited to character strings, but could also be sequences of floating
 * point numbers etc. Strings differ from matrices (cf. CDenseFeatures) in a
 * way that the dimensionality of the feature vectors (i.e. the strings) is not
 * fixed; it may vary between strings.
 *
 * Most string kernels require StringFeatures but a number of them actually
 * requires strings to have same length.
 *
 * When preprocessors are attached to string features they may shorten the
 * string, but are not allowed to return strings longer than max_string_length,
 * as some algorithms depend on this.
 *
 * Also note that string features cannot currently be computed on-the-fly.
 *
 * (Partly) subset access is supported for this feature type.
 * Simple use the (inherited) add_subset(), remove_subset() functions.
 * If done, all calls that work with features are translated to the subset.
 * See comments to find out whether it is supported for that method.
 * See also CFeatures class documentation
