This changeset fixes a huge pile of problems, as indicated in the
error log of the Doxygen run after merging all the recent Doxygen improvements
unfortunately, auto-linking does still not work at various places.
There is no clear indication what might be the problem.
Possibly the rather unstable Sqlite support in this Doxygen version
is the cause. Anyway, needs to be investigated further.
...based on all the clean-up and reorganisation done thus far,
we're now able to rebuild the util::str in a more direct and
sane way, and thus to disentangle the header inclusion problem.
due to the new automatic string conversion in operator<<
the representation of objects has changed occasionally.
I've investigated and verified all those incidents.
use a shortened display, showing only the last 4 bytes for diagnostics
since we're typically only interested in spotting "same" and "different",
while the full memory address is irrelevant
provide a generic overload for the stream inserter operator<<
to use custom string conversions when applicable.
The overload will be disabled when a direct lexical conversion
is possible (which means, we can expect the output stream to
know allready how to print those values, like e.g. all kinds
of numbers).
Additionally, we provide a pretty-printing mechansim for pointers,
to show the address and possibly invoke a custom string conversion
on the pointee
