-// HACK:  If a class is declared as DLL-exported in MSVC, it insists on
-//   generating copies of all its methods -- even inline ones -- to include
-//   in the DLL.  But SpaceUsed() calls StringSpaceUsedExcludingSelf() which
-//   isn't in the lite library, therefore the lite library cannot link if
-//   StringTypeHandler is exported.  So, we factor out StringTypeHandlerBase,
-//   export that, then make StringTypeHandler be a subclass which is NOT
-//   exported.
-// TODO(kenton):  Now that StringSpaceUsedExcludingSelf() is in the lite
-//   library, this can be cleaned up.
