Variant.string

Creates a string Variant with the contents of string.

string must be valid UTF-8, and must not be null. To encode potentially- null strings, use Variant with `ms` as the format string.

Example: Create a new string Variant:

public static int main (string[] args) {
	Variant var1 = new Variant.string ("Hello, world!");
	size_t length = 0;


	// Output: ``'Hello, world!'``
	print ("'%s'\n", (string) var1);
	// Output: ``'Hello, world!', 13``
	print ("'%s', %"+size_t.FORMAT+"\n", var1.get_string (out length), length);
	// Output: ``'Hello, world!', 13``
	print ("'%s', %"+size_t.FORMAT+"\n", var1.dup_string (out length), length);
	return 0;
}
