            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                This is a simple tool which provides an alternative syntax for using
                the string_cast() function.  It can be understood by considering
                the following example:

                    string_assign sa;
                    int val;
                    double dval;

                    val  = sa = "1234";   // executes: val = string_cast<int>("1234");
                    dval = sa = "3.141";  // executes: val = string_cast<double>("3.141");

                After executing, val will be equal to 1234 and dval will be 3.141.
                Note that you can use string_assign to assign to any type which you could
                use with string_cast(), except for std::basic_string, assigning to this
                type is ambiguous for boring technical reasons.  But there isn't much
                point in using this tool to assign from one string to another so it doesn't 
                matter.   

                Additionally, note that there is a global instance of this object, dlib::sa. 
                So you never have to create a string_assign object yourself.  Finally, this 
                object is totally stateless and threadsafe.   
        !*/
