Copy constructor

Str::Str (const Str& source)

Initialize the new instance to contain a copy of the passed string.

Due to the technique of instance sharing, this is a very fast operation (it does not require the actual string data to be copied and a new buffer to be allocated). The only exception is when a string is moved from thread to thread; in that case, the actual character bytes will be copied to avoid concurrency issues with the shared buffer.
