Abstraction and simplification

The String component simplifies string manipulation by abstracting away the details that clutter the equivalent C program, but it leaves certain details exposed for efficiency. This reduces programming errors without (necessarily) degrading program efficiency. The same principle is at work in many of the other components in C++ Standard Components. This section gives two more examples that illustrate the principle.
