"""Mix-in class to create various string buffer types.
Strings are character arrays terminated by a null byte.
(For input, this is also covered by stringptr.)
For output, there are again three variants:
- Fixed: size is a constant given in the documentation; or
- Stack: size is passed to the C function but we decide on a size at
code generation time so we can still allocate on the heap); or
- Heap: size is passed to the C function and we let the Python caller
pass a size.
(Note that this doesn't cover output parameters in which a string
pointer is returned. These are actually easier (no allocation) but far
less common. I'll write the classes when there is demand.)
