Detailed Description
A StringChunk is a chunk of character spans which references data within a contiguous storage space.
The data itself are stored in the StringChunk class. Application code that only knows about the Chunk and it's spans won't ever see that actual storage space and merely operate on references within the contiguous memory space.
