/**
 * Interned 8-bit strings.
 * Each instance with the same string content is a pointer to the same piece of
 * memory, allowing very fast string comparisons.
 *
 * Since a CStrIntern is just a dumb pointer, copying is very fast,
 * and pass-by-value should be preferred over pass-by-reference.
 *
 * Memory allocated for strings will never be freed, so don't use this for
 * unbounded numbers of strings (e.g. text rendered by gameplay scripts) -
 * it's intended for a small number of short frequently-used strings.
 *
 * Not thread-safe - only allocate these strings from the main thread.
