[gaim-migrate @ 8408] This is an implementation of immutable, reference-counted strings. It is exceedingly trivial, I have no idea why I didn't do this long ago... PLEASE use these anywhere you pass around strings that may be stuck in multiple places; I'm not sure that it will save us too much heap holistically, but it should prevent having to make a hojillion twenty-byte allocations and free them immediately. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
