//! Unicode string slices.
//!
//! The `&str` type is one of the two main string types, the other being `String`.
//! Unlike its `String` counterpart, its contents are borrowed.
//!
//! # Basic Usage
//!
//! A basic string declaration of `&str` type:
//!
//! ```
//! let hello_world = "Hello, World!";
//! ```
//!
//! Here we have declared a string literal, also known as a string slice.
//! String literals have a static lifetime, which means the string `hello_world`
//! is guaranteed to be valid for the duration of the entire program.
//! We can explicitly specify `hello_world`'s lifetime as well:
//!
//! ```
//! let hello_world: &'static str = "Hello, world!";
//! ```
//!
//! *[See also the `str` primitive type](../../std/primitive.str.html).*

// Many of the usings in this module are only used in the test configuration.
// It's cleaner to just turn off the unused_imports warning than to fix them.
