 * to the API to put the string.
 * This class is intended to be shortlived, to be transformed as SString
 * as soon as it holds the string, so it has little members.
 * Note: we assume the buffer is filled by the API. If the length can be shorter,
 * we should set sLen to strlen(sb.ptr()) in related SString constructor and assignment.
