+** The following object is the header for an "RCStr" or "reference-counted
+** string".  An RCStr is passed around and used like any other char*
+** that has been dynamically allocated.  The important interface
+** differences:
+**
+**   1.  RCStr strings are reference counted.  They are deallocated
+**       when the reference count reaches zero.
+**
+**   2.  Use sqlite3RCStrUnref() to free an RCStr string rather than
+**       sqlite3_free()
+**
+**   3.  Make a (read-only) copy of a read-only RCStr string using
+**       sqlite3RCStrRef().
