/**
  \rst
  This class template provides operations for formatting and writing data
  into a character stream. The output is stored in ``std::string`` that grows
  dynamically.

  You can use one of the following typedefs for common character types
  and the standard allocator:

  +---------------+----------------------------+
  | Type          | Definition                 |
  +===============+============================+
  | StringWriter  | BasicStringWriter<char>    |
  +---------------+----------------------------+
  | WStringWriter | BasicStringWriter<wchar_t> |
  +---------------+----------------------------+

  **Example**::

     StringWriter out;
     out << "The answer is " << 42 << "\n";

  This will write the following output to the ``out`` object:

  .. code-block:: none

     The answer is 42

  The output can be moved to an ``std::string`` with ``out.move_to()``.
