hipstr: Yet another string type for Rust

(My take: One of the appeals of Rust is that there’s very little bikeshedding about common data types. When I’m importing code from someone else’s crate, I know that they’ll use the same string type, the same array type, the same memory management approach, and so on. This stands in sharp contrast to C++, where – despite years of attempts at standardization after the fact – there is little to no unity on such matters. That becomes a major roadblock to code reuse. Although there are some touted benefits to this crate, replacing concepts that are built in to the library is a hard sell for me.)
