      @class wxUString
  
      wxUString is a class representing a Unicode character string where
      each character is stored using a 32-bit value. This is different from
      wxString which may store a character either as a UTF-8 or as a UTF-16
      sequence and different from @c std::string which stores a string
      as a sequence of simple 8-bit characters and also different from
      @c std::wstring which stores the string differently depending on
      the definition of wchar_t.
  
      The main purpose of wxUString is a to give users a Unicode string
      class that has O(1) access to its content, to be identical on all
      platforms and to be easily convertable to wxString as well as other
      ways to store strings (C string literals, wide character
      string literals, character buffer, etc) by providing several overloads
      and built-in conversions to and from the various string formats.
  
      wxUString derives from @c std::basic_string<wxChar32> and therefore
      offers the complete API of @c std::string.
