  /// Twine - A lightweight data structure for efficiently representing the
  /// concatenation of temporary values as strings.
  ///
  /// A Twine is a kind of rope, it represents a concatenated string using a
  /// binary-tree, where the string is the preorder of the nodes. Since the
  /// Twine can be efficiently rendered into a buffer when its result is used,
  /// it avoids the cost of generating temporary values for intermediate string
  /// results -- particularly in cases when the Twine result is never
  /// required. By explicitly tracking the type of leaf nodes, we can also avoid
  /// the creation of temporary strings for conversions operations (such as
  /// appending an integer to a string).
  ///
  /// A Twine is not intended for use directly and should not be stored, its
  /// implementation relies on the ability to store pointers to temporary stack
  /// objects which may be deallocated at the end of a statement. Twines should
  /// only be used accepted as const references in arguments, when an API wishes
  /// to accept possibly-concatenated strings.
  ///
  /// Twines support a special 'null' value, which always concatenates to form
  /// itself, and renders as an empty string. This can be returned from APIs to
  /// effectively nullify any concatenations performed on the result.
  ///
  /// \b Implementation
  ///
  /// Given the nature of a Twine, it is not possible for the Twine's
  /// concatenation method to construct interior nodes; the result must be
  /// represented inside the returned value. For this reason a Twine object
  /// actually holds two values, the left- and right-hand sides of a
  /// concatenation. We also have nullary Twine objects, which are effectively
  /// sentinel values that represent empty strings.
  ///
  /// Thus, a Twine can effectively have zero, one, or two children. The \see
  /// isNullary(), \see isUnary(), and \see isBinary() predicates exist for
  /// testing the number of children.
  ///
  /// We maintain a number of invariants on Twine objects (FIXME: Why):
  ///  - Nullary twines are always represented with their Kind on the left-hand
  ///    side, and the Empty kind on the right-hand side.
  ///  - Unary twines are always represented with the value on the left-hand
  ///    side, and the Empty kind on the right-hand side.
  ///  - If a Twine has another Twine as a child, that child should always be
  ///    binary (otherwise it could have been folded into the parent).
  ///
  /// These invariants are check by \see isValid().
  ///
  /// \b Efficiency Considerations
  ///
  /// The Twine is designed to yield efficient and small code for common
  /// situations. For this reason, the concat() method is inlined so that
  /// concatenations of leaf nodes can be optimized into stores directly into a
  /// single stack allocated object.
  ///
  /// In practice, not all compilers can be trusted to optimize concat() fully,
  /// so we provide two additional methods (and accompanying operator+
  /// overloads) to guarantee that particularly important cases (cstring plus
  /// StringRef) codegen as desired.
