/*
These templates use SFINAE (Substitution failure is not an error) to help distinguish the various
plain C string types: char*, const char*, char[N], const char[N], char[] and const char[].
There are 2 cases:
1) Only string literal (i.e. const char[N]) is wanted, not any of the others.
    In this case it is necessary to distinguish between const char[N] and char[N], as the latter
    would be automatically converted to the const variant, which is not wanted (not a string literal
    with known size of the content). In this case ConstCharArrayDetector is used to ensure the function
    is called only with const char[N] arguments. There's no other plain C string type overload.
    (Note that OUStringChar is also covered by ConstCharArrayDetector's TypeUtf16 check, but
    provides a pointer to a string that is not NUL-terminated, unlike the char16_t const[N] arrays
    normally covered by that check, and which are assumed to represent NUL-terminated string
    literals.)
2) All plain C string types are wanted, and const char[N] needs to be handled differently.
    In this case const char[N] would match const char* argument type (not exactly sure why, but it's
    consistent in all of gcc, clang and msvc). Using a template with a reference to const of the type
    avoids this problem, and CharPtrDetector ensures that the function is called only with char pointer
    arguments. The const in the argument is necessary to handle the case when something is explicitly
    cast to const char*. Additionally (non-const) char[N] needs to be handled, but with the reference
    being const, it would also match const char[N], so another overload with a reference to non-const
    and NonConstCharArrayDetector are used to ensure the function is called only with (non-const) char[N].
Additionally, char[] and const char[] (i.e. size unknown) are rather tricky. Their usage with 'T&' would
mean it would be 'char(&)[]', which seems to be invalid. But gcc and clang somehow manage when it is
a template. while msvc complains about no conversion from char[] to char[1]. And the reference cannot
be avoided, because 'const char[]' as argument type would match also 'const char[N]'
So char[] and const char[] should always be used with their contents specified (which automatically
turns them into char[N] or const char[N]), or char* and const char* should be used.
