// Useful string functions and so forth.  This is a grab-bag file.
//
// These functions work fine for UTF-8 strings as long as you can
// consider them to be just byte strings.  For example, due to the
// design of UTF-8 you do not need to worry about accidental matches,
// as long as all your inputs are valid UTF-8 (use \uHHHH, not \xHH or \oOOO).

// Useful for calculating the smallest lexicographically larger string
// that will not be prefixed by the input string.

// Examples:
// "a" -> "b", "aaa" -> "aab", "aa\xff" -> "ab", "\xff" -> "", "" -> ""
